System-on-a-Chip for Internet Appliance
The system software can then read the request registers to determine the sources that requested an inter-
rupt. Reading the status registers indicate the sources that requested interrupts, even if they were
masked.
The IRQA request register is slightly different in that some of the interrupt flags are edge triggered and
thus need to be cleared after they are read. All other request registers are read-only, but the IRQRQA
register can be written to clear triggered interrupts. A write of ‘1’ to a bit clears that interrupt. A write of ‘0’
causes no action to be taken.
