Explanation for NVIC_EnableIRQ(irq_no)

Hello EE verse,

Can anyone explain the below implementation ?

I did see the reference to this function in the cortex_m4 generic reference manual but couldn't understand how the register is mapped.

Also no sure why in NVIC->ISER, IRQn (6 in my case) will be right shifted by 5? can you explain the logic?

__STATIC_INLINE void __NVIC_EnableIRQ(IRQn_Type IRQn)

{

     if ((int32_t)(IRQn) >= 0)

      {

         NVIC->ISER[(((uint32_t)IRQn) >> 5UL)] = (uint32_t)(1UL << (((uint32_t)IRQn) & 0x1FUL));

      }

}

-AM

The >>5 is DIV32 the & 0x1F is MOD32

The NVIC has an array of 32 bit flags arrayed over multiple words.

IRQ6 with be Bit 6 in Word 0

ISER[IRQ / 32] = 1 << (IRQ % 32); // Write the bit position into the Set/Enable register

ie ISER[0] = 0x00000040;

It becomes quite easy to understand once you put the code side by side with the reference manual on the core
