Video Port Interface (VPIF)
Line Interrupts to CPU
In raw data capture mode (CCD/CMOS capture), VPIF will issue line-interval triggered interrupts using the
field/frame interrupt signals. The line-interval is programmable in the C0CTRL register, and it uses the
FRAME1 interrupt signal.
Emulation Considerations
35.2.10.1 Emulation Suspend Mode Support
The VPIF supports the emulation suspend signal from the CPU. The emulation suspend signal (a high
signal indicates that the CPU is suspended) is asserted by the CPU when the CPU is halted with a
breakpoint or any other reason during debug.
Functional performance, when the emulation suspend signal is received, is defined by the register
configuration and is different for each use (receiver and transmitter). Because the VPIF has to process
real-time incoming (or outgoing) data that has a unit size of 1 frame, the VPIF can be stalled at the
nearest end of the present processing frame when the emulation suspend signal is received. The
fundamental performance of emulation suspend is shown in
.
