1.4.2.1.7 Fault Mask Register (FAULTMASK)
FAULTMASK is shown in
and described in
Return to
The FAULTMASK register prevents activation of all exceptions except for the nonmaskable interrupt
(NMI). 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 FAULTMASK
register, and the CPS instruction may be used to change the value of the FAULTMASK 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
