An interrupt occurs when the normal flow of program execution is temporarily stopped, for example, to handle an external interrupt request. Before handling an exception, the current processor state must be preserved so that the current program can continue to execute after the exception handling is completed. The processor allows multiple exceptions to occur simultaneously, and they will be handled according to a fixed priority.

Interrupts are closely related to stack settings and ARM architecture. ARM is a system kernel that supports multi-tasking operations, and its internal structure is fully adapted to multi-tasking applications. The ARM kernel supports 7 types of interrupts. Different interrupts are in different processing modes (as shown in Table 1), have different priorities, and each interrupt has a fixed interrupt entry address. When an interrupt occurs, the corresponding R14 (LR) stores the interrupt return address, and the SPSR stores the value of the status register CPSR.

Since the ARM core supports pipeline operation, the address stored in the LR register may be the address of the instruction following the interrupt. Therefore, after different interrupts are processed, the LR register value must be processed and then written to the R15 (PC) register.

The exceptions supported by the ARM architecture and their specific meanings are shown in Table 2.
