    How does the ARM processor hardware respond to the following process when an abort occurs (assuming the interrupt is not masked)?


    *
    Answer

    When an abort occurs, the ARM processor hardware automatically responds to the following procedure (assuming the interrupt is unmasked):

    1 Set the register LR to the return address.

    2 Save the current program status register.Method: Save the CPSR content of the previous mode to the SPSR register corresponding to the abnormal interrupt.

    3 off interrupt.The above process is done automatically by the ARM processor hardware without user intervention.
