System Stack and User Stack

User Stack
One user stack is provided for each task. Therefore, when writing applications with the MR308, it is
necessary to furnish the stack area for each task.

System Stack
This stack is used within the MR308 (during service call processing). When a service call is issued
from a task, the MR308 switches the stack from the user stack to the system stack (See Figure 7.4).

Switchover from user stack to system stack occurs when an interrupt of vector numbers 0 to 31 or 247 to 255 is
generated. Consequently, all stacks used by the interrupt handler are the system stack.
