Interrupts This example application demonstrates the interrupt preemption and tail-chaining capabilities of Cortex-M4 microprocessor and NVIC. Nested interrupts are synthesized when the interrupts have the same priority, increasing priorities, and decreasing priorities. With increasing priorities, preemption will occur; in the other two cases tail-chaining will occur. The currently pending interrupts and the currently executing interrupt will be displayed on the display; GPIO pins B3, L1 and L0 (the GPIO on jumper J27 on the left edge of the board) will be asserted upon interrupt handler entry and de-asserted before interrupt handler exit so that the off-to-on time can be observed with a scope or logic analyzer to see the speed of tail-chaining (for the two cases where tail-chaining is occurring). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2013-2014 Texas Instruments Incorporated.
