5502 blocked interrupt handling process

Step	Description
Interrupt request sent to cpu	The CPU used es a Maskable Interrupt request.
Set corresponding IFR flag	When the CPU detects a valid Maskable Interrupt request, it sets and Latches the corresponding flag in one of the interrupt flag registers (ifr0 Or ifr1). This flag stays latched until the interrupt is acknowledged or The flag is cleared by software or by a DSP hardware reset. (See Description of ifr0 and ifr1 in section 2.8.2 .)
Interrupt enabled in ier?	The CPU cannot acknowledge the interrupt unless the corresponding Enable bit is 1 in one of the interrupt enable registers (ier0 or ier1). (See The description of ier0 and ier1 in section 2.8.3 .)
intm = 0?	the CPU cannot acknowledge the interrupt unless the interrupt mode bit (intm) is 0. that is, interrupts must be globally enabled. (see the description of intm in section 2.10.2.8.
branch to interrupt service routine	the CPU follows the interrupt vector to the interrupt service routine. while branching, the CPU performs the following actions: it completes instructions that have already made it to the decode phase of the pipeline. other instructions are flushed from the pipeline. it clears the corresponding flag in ifr0 or ifr1, to indicate that interrupt has been acknowledged. it saves certain registers values automatically, to record important mode and status information about the interrupted program sequence (see the description of automatic IC context switching in section 4.4 ). it creates a fresh context for the ISR by forcing intm = 1 (globally disables interrupts), dbgm = 1 (disables debug events ), and eallow = 0 (disables access to non-CPU emulation registers)
execute interrupt service routine	the CPU executes the interrupt service routine (ISR) that you have written for the acknowledged interrupt. some registers values were saved automatically during the branch to the ISR. A return-from-interrupt instruction at the end of your ISR forces an automatic IC context restore operation (see the description of automatic IC context switching in section 4.4) to restore these register values. if the ISR shares other registers with the interrupted program sequence, the ISR must save other register values at the beginning of the ISR and restore these values before returning to the interrupted program sequence
program continues	If the interrupt request is not properly enabled, the CPU ignores the request, and the program continues uninterrupted. if the interrupt is properly enabled, its interrupt service routine is executed, and then the program continues from the point where it was interrupted.
