C.2.10. Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) block

The VIC has the following interfaces:

There are 32 interrupt source inputs. For details of the VIC interrupts sources connections, see the ARM PrimeCell Vectored Interrupt Controller (PL192) Technical Reference Manual.

Note

The daisy chain interface is tied off, because only a single VIC is present in the ARM1136JF-S test chip. By default, the VIC is disabled. Use the Test Chip Control Register to enable the VIC (see Table C.12).

Interrupt routing

Table C.24 lists the ARM1136JF-S test chip signal routing to the VIC interrupt sources.
