The DPU generates an interrupt to
signal the completion of a task. A high state on reg_dpu_start or ap_start signals
the start of a DPU task.
At the end of the task, the DPU generates an
interrupt and bit0 in IPISR and reg_finish_sts is
set to 1.
To support DPU interrupt, the DPU implements the following registers:
- Global Interrupt Enable Register (GIER)
- Provides the master enable/disable for the interrupt output to the processor or Interrupt Controller. See Global Interrupt Enable Register (GIER) in Table 1 for more details.
- IP Interrupt Enable Register (IPIER)
- Implements the independent interrupt enable bit for each channel. See IP Interrupt Enable (IPIER) and IP Status Registers (IPISR) in Table 1 for more details.
- IP Interrupt Status Register (IPISR)
- Implements the independent interrupt status bit for each channel. The IPISR provides Read and Toggle-On-Write access. The Toggle-On-Write mechanism allows interrupt service routines to clear one or more ISR bits using a single write transaction. The IPISR can also be manually set to generate an interrupt for testing purposes. See IP Interrupt Enable (IPIER) and IP Status Registers (IPISR) in Table 1 for additional details.
