3.10.5 Multiple EIT Processing

If multiple EIT causes occur at the same time, the CPU repeats the operation of
selecting and accepting one of the EIT causes, executing the EIT sequence, and then
detecting EIT causes again. If there are no more EIT causes be accepted while the CPU
is detecting EIT causes, the CPU executes the handler instruction of the last accepted
EIT cause. As a result, the order of executing handlers for multiple EIT causes that
occur at the same time is determined according to the following two elements:
• Priority of EIT causes to be accepted
• How other causes can be masked when one cause is accepted
■ Priority of EIT Causes to Be Accepted
The priority of EIT causes to be accepted is the order of causes for which the EIT sequence is
to be executed (that is, saving the PS and PC, updating the PC, and masking other causes, if
required). The handler of a cause accepted earlier is not necessarily executed earlier.
Table 3.10-5 shows the priority of EIT causes to be accepted.
Table 3.10-5 Priority of EIT Causes to be Accepted and Masking of Other Causes
Priority of
acceptance
*: The priority is "6" only if the INTE instruction and the NMI for emulators occur at the same
time. The NMI for emulators is used in the MB91301 series for breaks due to data access.
