ADVANCE INFORMATION for pre-production products; subject to change without notice.
The device has a large number of interrupts to service the needs of its many peripherals and subsystems. The MPU, DSP (x2), and IPU (x2) subsystems are capable of servicing these interrupts via their integrated interrupt controllers. In addition, each processor's interrupt controller is preceded by an Interrupt Controller Crossbar (IRQ_CROSSBAR) that provides flexibility in mapping the device interrupts to processor interrupt inputs. For more information about IRQ crossbar, see chapter Control Module of the Device TRM.
Dual Cortex®-A15 MPU Subsystem Interrupt Controller (MPU_INTC)
The MPU_INTC module (also called Generalized Interrupt Controller [GIC]) is a single functional unit that is integrated in the Arm® Cortex-A15 multiprocessor core (MPCore) alongside Cortex-A15 processors. It provides:
Each Cortex-A15 processor supports three main groups of interrupt sources, with each interrupt source having a unique ID:

C66x DSP Subsystem Interrupt Controller (DSPx_INTC, where x = 1, 2)
There are two Digital Signal Processing (DSP) subsystems in the device - DSP1, and DSP2. Each DSP subsystem integrates an interrupt controller - DSPx_INTC, which interfaces the system events to the C66x core interrupt and exceptions inputs. It combines up to 128 interrupts into 12 prioritized interrupts presented to the C66x CPU.
For detailed information about this module, see chapter DSP Subsystems of the Device TRM.
Dual Cortex-M4 IPU Subsystem Interrupt Controller (IPUx_Cx_INTC, where x = 1, 2)
There are two Image Processing Unit (IPU) subsystems in the device - IPU1, and IPU2. Each IPU subsystem integrates two Arm Cortex-M4 cores.
A Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) is integrated within each Cortex-M4. The interrupt mapping is the same (per IPU) for the two cores to facilitate parallel processing. The NVIC supports:
