4.1.5. Interrupt registers standard configuration

The FIQ interrupt controller is one bit wide and is located on bit 0. The source of this interrupt is implementation dependent.

The interrupt controller will be customized to fit into each application. The following is an example minimum set of interrupt bits assigned in a system.

Bits 1 to 5 in the IRQ interrupt controller are defined in the standard EASY world. Bit 0 and Bits 6 up to 31 are available for use as required. Bit 0 is left available so that the FIQ source may also be routed to the IRQ controller in an identical bit position.
