Primary INTR
Default: On
This item acts like a master switch for all the interrupt items that follow. If this item is set
to ON, the all the following interrupts can be manually configured to act as resets for the
power saving timeouts. If this item is set to OFF, then all the following interrupt items
cannot be used to reset the power saving timeouts.
IRQX
These interrupt events can act as triggers to reset the power saving timeouts or other
system maintenance tasks. If you set an interrupt event to Primary, any activity on that
interrupt will reset the timeouts that use the primary timer (e.g. the power saving modes). If
you set an interrupt to Secondary, then any activity on the interrupt will reset those
timeouts that use the secondary timer (usually background maintenance tasks). If you set
an interrupt event to Disabled, any activity on the interrupt will not reset the timeouts.
