Function Name Implemented By
alt_ic_isr_register() Interrupt controller driver  ()
alt_ic_irq_enable() Interrupt controller driver  ()
alt_ic_irq_disable() Interrupt controller driver  ()
alt_ic_irq_enabled() Interrupt controller driver  ()
alt_irq_disable_all() HAL
alt_irq_enable_all() HAL
alt_irq_enabled() HAL
Note: If the system is based on an EIC, these functions must be implemented by the EIC driver. If the system is based in the IIC, the functions are implemented by the HAL. For more information about each function, refer to the "HAL API Reference" section.
