Restrictions

Some interrupts can cause the core to deadlock. These interrupts can occur when the core issues a
single read towards a peripheral and the read triggers an interrupt. The deadlock occurs because
the interrupt signal reaches the core before the actual data. As a result, the core jumps to the
interrupt handler and upon returning from handling the interrupt, reissues the read request.
Table 13-5 summarizes the problematic scenarios and resulting restrictions on the user.
