12.4.1.15Base Priority Mask Register
Name:
BASEPRI
Access:
Read
/Write
Reset:
0x00
0000000
The BASEPRI register defines the minimum priority for exception processing. When BASEPRI is set to a nonzero value, it
prevents the activation of all exceptions with same or lower priority level as the BASEPRI value.
• BASEPRI
Priority mask bits:
0x0000: No effect
Nonzero: Defines the base priority for exception processing
The processor does not process any exception with a priority value greater than or equal to BASEPRI.
This field is similar to the priority fields in the interrupt priority registers. The processor implements only bits[7:4] of this
0x0000: No effect
Nonzero: Defines the base priority for exception processing
The processor does not process any exception with a priority value greater than or equal to BASEPRI.
This field is similar to the priority fields in the interrupt priority registers. The processor implements only bits[7:4] of this
field, bits[3:0] read as zero and ignore writes. See
for more information. Remember that
higher priority field values correspond to lower exception priorities.
