35.6.11 Interrupts

The QSPI has the following interrupt source:

  • Interrupt Request (INTREQ) – Indicates that at least one bit in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register (INTFLAG) is set to ‘1

Each interrupt source has an interrupt flag associated with it. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear (INTFLAG) register is set when the interrupt condition occurs. Each interrupt can be individually enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set (INTENSET) register and disabled by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear (INTENCLR) register. An interrupt request is generated when the interrupt flag is set and the corresponding interrupt is enabled. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared, the interrupt is disabled or the QSPI is reset. All interrupt requests from the peripheral are ORed together on system level to generate one combined interrupt request to the NVIC. The user must read the INTFLAG register to determine which interrupt condition is present.

Note: Interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests to be generated.
