13.5.6 Interrupt Priority Register
13.5.7 IRQ Highest-Priority Register
Register Name: INTR_PRTY
Hex Offset Address: 0xC800 3014 Reset Hex Value: 0x00FAC688
Register
Description:
The highest eight priority interrupts can be programmed via this register, each of the 3-bit sets can be
programmed to any priority from 0(000) through 7(111). This register applies to both IRQ and FIQ
interrupts.
Access: Read/Write.

Register Name: INTR_IRQ_ENC_ST
Hex Offset Address: 0xC800 3018 Reset Hex Value: 0x00000000
Register
Description:
This register returns the “incremented number” of the highest-priority interrupt that is pending for the
IRQ. For example, if interrupt 0 is the highest IRQ pending, the register returns 1. If the register returns
0, it means that there is no interrupt pending or a spurious interrupt.
Note that the encoded number is shifted left by two bits, a software requirement for the value to be
multiplied by 4 before being read.
Access: Read.
