5.6 Interrupt Control Modes and Interrupt Operation
The interrupt controller has two modes: interrupt control mode 0 and interrupt control mode 2.
Interrupt operations differ depending on the interrupt control mode. The interrupt control mode is
selected by INTCR. Table 5.3 shows the differences between interrupt control mode 0 and
interrupt control mode 2.
