The Process Response to an Exception o Copies the CPSR into the SPSR for the mode in which the exception is to be handled. n Saves the current mode, interrupt mask, and condition flags. o Changes the appropriate CPSR mode bits n Change to the appropriate mode o Map in the appropriate banked registers for that mode o Disable interrupts n IRQsare disabled when any …
