AM3352: Software interrupt

Part Number: AM3352


Hi,

With regards to the Software interrupt mentioned in TRM "6.1.1 Interrupt Processing".

Does this "software interrupt" means that software can issue an interrupt just
by setting the INTC_ISR_SETn register bit without using any hardware(peripheral) interrupt?

And can we use any of the 128 interrupts available from the "Table 6-1. ARM Cortex-A8 Interrupts"?
for the software interrupt.
For example if we don't use McSPI in the application, we can set the McSPI0 interrupt number(65)
in the INTC_ISR_SETn register and generate a McSPI interrupt which could be used as a software interrupt.

Best Regards
Kummi
