16/32-bit ARM microcontrollers
Non-vectored IRQs have the lowest priority.
The VIC combines the requests from all the vectored and non-vectored IRQs to produce
the IRQ signal to the ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by reading a
register from the VIC and jumping there. If any of the vectored IRQs are requesting, the
VIC provides the address of the highest-priority requesting IRQs service routine,
otherwise it provides the address of a default routine that is shared by all the non-vectored
IRQs. The default routine can read another VIC register to see what IRQs are active.
6.4.1 Interrupt sources
Table 5 lists the interrupt sources for each peripheral function. Each peripheral device has
one interrupt line connected to the VIC, but may have several internal interrupt flags.
Individual interrupt flags may also represent more than one interrupt source.
