Interrupts
17.4.1
IBF1, IBF2
The host interface can issue two interrupt requests to the slave CPU: IBF1 and IBF2. They are
input buffer full interrupts for input data registers IDR1 and IDR2 respectively. Each interrupt is
enabled when the corresponding enable bit is set.
Table 17.10 Input Buffer Full Interrupts
Interrupt
Description
IBF1
Requested when IBFIE1 is set to 1 and IDR1 is full
IBF2
Requested when IBFIE2 is set to 1 and IDR2 is full
17.4.2
HIRQ11, HIRQ1, and HIRQ12
In slave mode (single-chip mode, with HI12E = 1 in SYSCR2), bits P45DR to P43DR in the port
4 data register (P4DR) can be used as host interrupt request latches.
These three P4DR bits are cleared to 0 by the host processor’s read signal (
,25). If &6 and
HA0 are low, when
,25 goes low and the host reads ODR1, HIRQ1 and HIRQ12 are cleared to
0. If
&6 and HA0 are low, when ,25 goes low and the host reads ODR2, HIRQ11 is cleared to
0. To generate a host interrupt request, normally on-chip firmware writes 1 in the corresponding
bit. In processing the interrupt, the host’s interrupt handling routine reads the output data register
(ODR1 or ODR2), and this clears the host interrupt latch to 0.
Table 17.11 indicates how these bits are set and cleared. Figure 17.3 shows the processing in
flowchart form.
Table 17.11 HIRQ Setting/Clearing Conditions
Host Interrupt
Signal
Setting Condition
Clearing Condition
HIRQ11 (P43)
Slave CPU reads 0 from bit P43DR,
then writes 1
Slave CPU writes 0 in bit P43DR, or
host reads output data register 2
HIRQ1 (P44)
Slave CPU reads 0 from bit P44DR,
then writes 1
Slave CPU writes 0 in bit P44DR, or
host reads output data register 1
HIRQ12 (P45)
Slave CPU reads 0 from bit P45DR,
then writes 1
Slave CPU writes 0 in bit P45DR, or
host reads output data register 1
