I'd like to know the behavior of WFE and WFI regarding pending interrupts that occur prior to these instructions, on 2 different Cortex profiles. In both cases, the goal is to ensure any incoming interrupt will cause a wake-up when interrupts are masked/disabled.
- With Cortex-M and PRIMASK=1, BASEPRI=0, and SEVONPEND=1, when is the Event latch/register is set or cleared for pending interrupts before a WFE? In other words, is it ok to always leave SEVONPEND set or should it only be set just prior to WFE?
- With Cortex-A and interrupts disabled (CPSR.I=1), will interrupts that become pending prior to a WFI prevent it from suspending execution or does the interrupt have to occur after the WFI instruction has been executed to cause a wake-up event?
Thanks in advance!
