Only 4 Bits for Interrupt priority (NVIC STM32H743) ?

[DFuchs]

Hi,

the IPR bit assignment in 'PM0253 Rev 5 p.189' tells me that a number of bits [n-1:0] are read as zero and ignore writes.

At this point n isn't 'n = m MOD 4'.

Obviously n is 4 because i can write only the four upper bits and bits [3:0] stay at zero.

So i have only a priority value of 0-15 left-shifted by 4.

Do i make a mistake?

Does someone have a better document for the NVIC?

For functional safety i have to readback all registers and check them. If i write 0x16 to a register and read 0x10 back i have a problem. I am not using CMSIS or HAL.

Kind regards

Daniel

The ARM IPs in the MCUs is described in the PM0253 "STM32F7 Series and STM32H7 Series Cortex®-M7 processor programming manual". ST implementation specific features are described in RM0433. Reference manual. And yes, it says 4 bit.

Thank you!

The short text about the NVIC features - i didn't read it carefully enough (RM0433 Rev7 p.753).

16 programmable priority levels (4 bits of interrupt priority are used)

Kind regards

Daniel
