interrupt priority in avr ?

hi ,
how can we set interrupt priority in mega16 ?
for example in 8051 , we had IP register to set up the priority levels , how we do the same in ave mega16 ?

thanks

Interrupt vectors in atmega16 have fixed priority in accordance with their address. The lower address - the higher priority.

are their address fixed or they depend on how you write the program ? i mean can we change their addredd to change the priority ?

Sorry, I can not reply by PM - it is disabled for me.

Yes, every vector has fixed address. You can not change vector address. For example INT0 interrupt will always change program pointer to $0002 address.

So, you can not change priority of interrupts. The only thing that you can make in your program - to disable other interrupts when starting some interrupt subroutine.

a correction:
When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared and all interrupts
are disabled. The user software can write logic one to the I-bit to enable nested interrupts.
All enabled interrupts can then interrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is
automatically set again when a – RETI – is executed.

if I-bit is manually set to one , in interrupt subroutine , does any other interrupt , interrupt the current one or only the one which is higher (the less address) is nested ?

Hello omid,

If you enable the interrupts within an ISR, all interrupts irrespective of their priority(address-wise) are enabled. You can check this by simulating in AVRStudio. But AVR docs are unclear about this. So better assume that all interrtups are enabled, if you are going to do nesting.
One way to allow only specific interrupts while nesting is to disable interrupts which are not required just before enabling I-bit. Make sure you re-enable these interrupts before exiting ISR, but after disabling I-bit.

when you know the chronogramme of evenement you can use this solution
program:
enable interruption-priority1
on intrrupt interruption-priority1 gosub subinterruption1
on intrrupt interruption-priority1 gosub subinterruption1
on intrrupt interruption-priority1 gosub subinterruption1
.......
on intrrupt interruption-priority1 gosub subinterruptionx
.....

do
loop

subinterruption1:
enable interruption-priority2
instruction.....
return

subinterruption2:
enable interruption-priority3
instruction.....
return


subinterruption3:
enable interruption-priority4
instruction.....
return


subinterruptionx
.....
instruction.....
return

right way is nested interrupt routines don't use
