Interrupts

Interrupt priority is 0-0xF. A priority of 0xF means that the interrupt is disabled.

Private Interrupts

Each CPU core has 32 software interrupts that are private and belong to that core. These interrupts are numbers 0-0x1F for each core. The hardware interrupts are not core-specific and start at interrupt ID 0x20.

IRQ Listener Description
0 MPCore software-interrupt. Used by Kernel11 to sync cores in crt0.
0x1-0x3 MPCore software-interrupt. Used by Boot11 and Kernel11 to kickstart Core1/2/3.
0x4 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. Used to manage the performance counter.
0x5 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. Does apparently nothing.
0x6 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. Extensively used by KernelSetState (and contains most of the actual code of the latter).
0x7 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. See KCacheMaintenanceInterruptEvent
0x8 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. Used for scheduling.
0x9 Kernel MPCore software-interrupt. Used when handling exceptions that require termination of a thread or a process, and in some cases by svcSetDebugThreadContext, to store VFP registers in the thread's register storage.
0xA Kernel TLB operations interrupt, see KTLBOperationsInterruptEvent
0xB-0xE MPCore software-interrupt. Not configured.
0xF dmnt/debugger MPCore software-interrupt. Used to abstract FIQ (debug). This interrupt is never sent to core2 nor core3 on N3DS.
0x1D Kernel MPCore timer.
0x1E Kernel MPCore watchdog - set when the watchdog counter reaches 0 in timer mode, causes interrupt 30 to set as pending. Only set on core 1 as core 1's timer is used for everything.

Hardware Interrupts

There are 0x60 hardware interrupts starting at 0x20 and continuing up to 0x7F. These are not private and are accessible from any core.

(interrupts from 0x80 and up can't be mapped in available builds of the kernel)


There are 2 tables in the Arm11 kernel: the first has 32 * 2(or 32 * 4) 8-byte entries. This table is for the private interrupts that belong to each core. The data for each interrupt can be found by doing table_base + (core_num * 0x100) + (intr_num * 8). The second table is for public hardware interrupts and the data for each interrupt can be retrieved by doing table_base + (intr_num * 8).

The Arm11 kernel configures interrupts the following way (it seems the GPIO IRQ layout doesn't match released 3DS models):

InterruptData

Offset Type Description
0x0 KBaseInterruptEvent * Pointer to the KBaseInterruptEvent object for this interrupt
0x4 u8 Interrupt will be disabled by the IRQ handler as soon as it is acknowledged.

Ignored for FIQ: the FIQ handler always sets bit2 of PDN_FIQ_CNT

0x5 u8 Interrupt is disabled
0x6 u8 Interrupt priority
0x7 u8 Unused, alignment
