should initialize these registers before enabling the timer.
Interrupts and Sequencing
Another type of nonsequential program flow that the sequencer supports
is interrupt processing. Interrupts may stem from a variety of conditions,
both internal and external to the processor. In response to an interrupt,
the sequencer processes a subroutine call to a predefined address, called
the interrupt vector. The DSP assigns a unique vector to each type of
interrupt and assigns a priority to each interrupt based on the Interrupt
Vector Table (IVT) addressing scheme.
For more information, see “Inter-
rupt Vector Addresses” in Appendix B, Interrupt Vector Addresses.
The DSP supports three prioritized, individually-maskable external inter-
rupts, each of which can be either level- or edge-sensitive. External
interrupts occur when another device asserts one of the DSP’s interrupt
inputs (
IRQ2–0
). The DSP also supports internal interrupts. An internal
interrupt can stem from arithmetic exceptions, stack overflows, DMA
completion and/or peripheral data buffer status, or circular data buffer
overflows. Several factors control the DSP’s response to an interrupt. The
DSP responds to an interrupt request if:
• the DSP is executing instructions or is in an idle state.
• the interrupt is not masked.
• interrupts are globally enabled.
• a higher priority request is not pending.
When the DSP responds to an interrupt, the sequencer branches program
execution with a call to the corresponding interrupt vector address.
Within the DSP’s program memory, the interrupt vectors are grouped in
an area called the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT). The interrupt vectors in
