Cortex-M3 Processor
Figure 24-14. Vector table
On system reset, the vector table is fixed at address 0x0000.0000. Privileged software can write to the
Vector Table Offset (VTABLE) register to relocate the vector table start address to a different memory
location, in the range 0x0000.0200 to 0x3FFF.FE00. Note that when configuring the VTABLE register, the
offset must be aligned on a 512-byte boundary.
24.7.5 Exception Priorities
As
shows, all exceptions have an associated priority, with a lower priority value indicating a
higher priority and configurable priorities for all exceptions except Reset, Hard fault, and NMI. If software
does not configure any priorities, then all exceptions with a configurable priority have a priority of 0. For
information about configuring exception priorities, see the
Cortex-M3 Peripherals
chapter.
NOTE:
Configurable priority values for the Concerto implementation are in the range 0-7. This
means that the Reset, Hard fault, and NMI exceptions, with fixed negative priority values,
always have higher priority than any other exception.
For example, assigning a higher priority value to IRQ[0] and a lower priority value to IRQ[1] means that
IRQ[1] has higher priority than IRQ[0]. If both IRQ[1] and IRQ[0] are asserted, IRQ[1] is processed before
IRQ[0].
If multiple pending exceptions have the same priority, the pending exception with the lowest exception
number takes precedence. For example, if both IRQ[0] and IRQ[1] are pending and have the same
priority, then IRQ[0] is processed before IRQ[1].
