Return to
The PRIMASK register prevents activation of all exceptions with programmable priority. Reset,
nonmaskable interrupt (NMI), and hard fault are the only exceptions with fixed priority. Exceptions should
be disabled when they might impact the timing of critical tasks. This register is only accessible in
privileged mode. The MSR and MRS instructions are used to access the PRIMASK register, and the CPS
instruction may be used to change the value of the PRIMASK register. See the Cortex-M4 instruction set
chapter in the
Arm® Cortex-M4 Devices Generic User Guide
for more information on these instructions.
For more information on exception priority levels, see
