38.5.4. VIC API

The VIC device driver provides all the routines required of an Intel FPGA HAL external interrupt controller (EIC) device driver. The following functions are required by the Nios® II enhanced HAL interrupt API:
  • alt_ic_isr_register()
  • alt_ic_irq_enable()
  • alt_ic_irq_disable()
  • alt_ic_irq_enabled()

    These functions write to the register map to change the setting or read from the register map to check the status of the VIC component through a memory-mapped address.

    For detailed descriptions of these functions, refer to the to the HAL API Reference chapter of the Nios® II Software Developer’s Handbook.

    The table below lists the API functions specific to the VIC core and briefly describes each. Details of each function follow the table.

    Table 390.  Function List
    Name Description
    alt_vic_sw_interrupt_set() Sets the corresponding bit in the SW_INTERRUPT register to enable a given interrupt via software.
    alt_vic_sw_interrupt_clear() Clears the corresponding bit in the SW_INTERRUPT register to disable a given interrupt via software.
    alt_vic_sw_interrupt_status() Reads the status of the SW_INTERRUPT register for a given interrupt.
    alt_vic_irq_set_level() Sets the interrupt level for a given interrupt.
