Interrupts
109
EI ;Enable interrupt mechanism
DI ;Disable vectored interrupts.
To initiate polled processing, check the bits of interest in the IRQ using the Test Under
Mask (TM) instruction. If the bit is set, call or branch to the service routine. The service
routine services the request, resets its Request Bit in the IRQ, and branches or returns back
to the main program. An example of a polling routine is as follows:
In this example, if IRQ2 is being polled, MASKA is
00000100b
and MASKB is
11111011b
.
Reset Conditions
Upon reset, all bits in IPR are undefined.
In IMR, bit 7 is 0 and bits 0–6 are undefined. The IRQ register is reset and held in that
state until an enable interrupt (EI) instruction is executed.
