Keil arm mdk lite 32 bit3/15/2024 ![]() However, there is a minimum number of interrupt priority bits that need to be implemented, which is 2 bits in ARM Cortex-M0/M0+ and 3 bits in ARM Cortex-M3/M4.īut here again, the most confusing fact is that the priority bits are implemented in the most-significant bits of the priority configuration registers in the NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller). The number of priority levels in the ARM Cortex-M core is configurable, meaning that various silicon vendors can implement different number of priority bits in their chips. ![]() Interrupt Priority Configuration Registers in the NVIC A higher-urgency interrupt (lower priority number) can preempt a lower-urgency interrupt (higher priority number). The term “ urgency” means the capability of an interrupt to preempt other interrupts. NOTE: To avoid this confusion, in the rest of this post, the term “ priority” means the numerical value of interrupt priority in the ARM Cortex-M convention. This numbering scheme poses a constant threat of confusion, because any use of the terms “higher priority” or “lower priority” immediately requires clarification, whether they represent the numerical value of priority, or perhaps, the urgency of an interrupt. The most important fact to know is that ARM Cortex-M uses the “reversed” priority numbering scheme for interrupts, where priority zero corresponds to the highest urgency interrupt and higher numerical values of priority correspond to lower urgency. The Inverse Relationship Between Priority Numbers and Urgency of the Interrupts ![]() In this post I attempt to explain the subject and cut through the confusion. All rights reserved.The insanely popular ARM Cortex-M processor offers very versatile interrupt priority management, but unfortunately, the multiple priority numbering conventions used in managing the interrupt priorities are often counter-intuitive, inconsistent, and confusing, which can lead to bugs.
