5.5 Exceptions and Interrupts
In the AVR32 architecture, events are used as a common term for exceptions and interrupts.
AVR32UC incorporates a powerful event handling scheme. The different event sources, like Ille-
gal Op-code and interrupt requests, have different priority levels, ensuring a well-defined
behavior when multiple events are received simultaneously. Additionally, pending events of a
higher priority class may preempt handling of ongoing events of a lower priority class.
When an event occurs, the execution of the instruction stream is halted, and execution is passed
to an event handler at an address specified in Table 5-4 on page 32. Most of the handlers are
placed sequentially in the code space starting at the address specified by EVBA, with four bytes
between each handler. This gives ample space for a jump instruction to be placed there, jump-
ing to the event routine itself. A few critical handlers have larger spacing between them, allowing
