Interrupt request
Abort
The Interrupt Request (IRQ) exception is a normal interrupt caused by a LOW level on
the nIRQ input. IRQ has a lower priority than FIQ, and is masked on entry to an FIQ
sequence. As with the nFIQ input, nIRQ passes into the core through a synchronizer.
Irrespective of whether exception entry is from ARM state or Thumb state, an IRQ
handler returns from the interrupt by executing:
You can disable IRQ at any time, by setting the I bit in the CPSR from a privileged
mode.
An abort indicates that the current memory access cannot be completed. An abort is
signaled by the external ABORT input. The ARM7TDMI processor checks for the abort
exception at the end of memory access cycles.
The abort mechanism allows the implementation of a demand-paged virtual memory
system. In such a system, the processor is allowed to generate arbitrary addresses. When
the data at an address is unavailable, the Memory Management Unit (MMU) signals an
abort.
The abort handler must then:
•
•
The application program needs no knowledge of the amount of memory available to it,
nor is its state in any way affected by the abort.
There are two types of abort:
•
•
Work out the cause of the abort and make the requested data available.
Load the instruction that caused the abort using an
instruction to determine whether that instruction specifies base register
write-back. If it does, the abort handler must then:
—
—
This ensures that when the instruction is retried, the base register will have been
restored to the value it had when the instruction was originally executed.
a Prefetch Abort occurs during an instruction prefetch
a Data Abort occurs during a data access.

determine from the instruction what the offset applied to the base register
by the write-back was
apply the opposite offset to the value that will be reloaded into the base
register when the abort handler returns.
