There are 16 vectored interrupt blocks. The vectored interrupt blocks receive the IRQ interrupt requests and set VECTIRQX if the following are true:
the selected interrupt is active
the selected interrupt is currently the highest requesting interrupt.
Each vectored interrupt block also provides a VECTADDRX[31:0] output that you can use in the interrupt priority block. Figure 2.5 shows a block diagram of two of the vectored interrupt blocks.
