High Priority Interrupts
========================
:link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
The Xtensa architecture supports 32 interrupts, divided over 7 priority levels from level 1 to 7, with level 7 being an non-maskable interrupt (NMI), plus an assortment of exceptions. On the {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, the :doc:`../api-reference/system/intr_alloc` can route most interrupt sources to these interrupts via the interrupt mux. Normally, interrupts are written in C, but ESP-IDF allows high-priority interrupts to be written in assembly as well, resulting in very low interrupt latencies.
Interrupt Priorities

.. only:: esp32
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: 20 30 50
:align: center
* - Priority Level
- Symbol
- Remark
* - 1
- N/A
- Exception and low priority interrupts, handled by ESP-IDF.
* - 2-3
- N/A
- Medium priority interrupts, handled by ESP-IDF.
* - 4
- xt_highint4
- High priority interrupt, free to use. [1]_
* - 5
- xt_highint5
- Normally used by ESP-IDF debug logic. [1]_
* - NMI
- xt_nmi
- Non-maskable interrupt, free to use.

- xt_debugexception
- Debug exception. Called on e.g., a BREAK instruction. [2]_
.. [1] ESP-IDF debug logic can be configured to run on ``xt_highint4`` or ``xt_highint5`` in :ref:`CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_CHECK_INT_LEVEL`. Bluetooth's interrupt can be configured to run on priority level 4 by enabling :ref:`CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_HLI`. If :ref:`CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_HLI` is enabled, ESP-IDF debug logic must be running on priority level 5 interrupt.
.. [2] If :ref:`CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_HLI` is enabled, ``xt_debugexception`` is used to fix the `live lock issue <https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/eco_and_workarounds_for_bugs_in_esp32_en.pdf>`_ in ESP32 ECO3.

Using these symbols is done by creating an assembly file with suffix ``.S`` and defining the named symbols, like this:
.. code-block:: none
.section .iram1,"ax"
.global xt_highint5
.type xt_highint5,@function
.align 4
xt_highint5:
... your code here
rsr a0, EXCSAVE_5
rfi 5
For a real-life example, see the :component_file:`esp_system/port/soc/{IDF_TARGET_PATH_NAME}/highint_hdl.S` file; the panic handler interrupt is implemented there.
Notes
-----
- Do not call C code from a high-priority interrupt; as these interrupts are run from a critical section, this can cause the target to crash. Note that although the panic handler interrupt does call normal C code, this exception is allowed due to the fact that this handler never returns (i.e., the application does not continue to run after the panic handler), so breaking C code execution flow is not a problem.
.. only:: esp32
When :ref:`CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_HLI` is enabled, C code is also called from a high-priority interrupt, this is possible thanks to some additional protection added to it.
- Make sure your assembly code gets linked in. Indeed, as the free-to-use symbols are declared as weak, the linker may discard the file containing the symbol. This happens if the only symbol defined, or used from the user file is the ``xt_*`` free-to-use symbol. To avoid this, in the assembly file containing the ``xt_*`` symbol, define another symbol, like:
.. code-block:: none
.global ld_include_my_isr_file
ld_include_my_isr_file:
Here it is called ``ld_include_my_isr_file`` but can have any name, as long as it is not defined anywhere else in the project.
Then, in the component ``CMakeLists.txt``, add this name as an unresolved symbol to the ld command line arguments:
.. code-block:: none
target_link_libraries(${COMPONENT_TARGET} "-u ld_include_my_isr_file")
This will ensure the linker to always includes the file defining ``ld_include_my_isr_file``, so that the ISR is always linked.
- High-priority interrupts can be routed and handled using :cpp:func:`esp_intr_alloc` and associated functions. The handler and handler arguments to :cpp:func:`esp_intr_alloc` must be NULL, however.
- In theory, medium priority interrupts could also be handled in this way. ESP-IDF does not support this yet.
