IL[2:0] - Interrupt Level
These bits indicate the interrupt level assigned to each interrupt input. Level 7 is the highest 
priority, level 1 is the lowest, and level 0 indicates that no interrupt is requested. For external 
interrupts and SWT, the corresponding IL2-IL0 are reserved bits. If the ICRs are 
programmed to have nonunique interrupt level and priority combination, unpredictable 
results could occur.
NOTE
You should not program interrupts with the same level and
priority. Interrupts can have the same level but different
priorities. All level and priority combinations must be unique.
IP[1:0]- Interrupt Priority
These bits indicate the priority within an interrupt level assigned to each interrupt. You can 
assign as many as four interrupts to the same interrupt level as long as they have unique 
interrupt priorities. IP1-IP0 = 3 is the highest priority, and IP1-IP0 = 0 is the lowest priority 
for a given interrupt level. If you program the ICRs to have nonunique interrupt level and 
priority combination, unpredictable results could occur.
8.3.2.4 INTERRUPT MASK REGISTER (IMR). Each bit in the IMR corresponds to an 
interrupt source. Table 8-4 indicates which mask bit is assigned to each of the interrupt 
inputs. 
You can mask an interrupt by setting the corresponding bit in the IMR and enable an 
interrupt by clearing the corresponding bit in the IMR. When a masked interrupt occurs, the 
corresponding bit in the IPR is still set, regardless of the setting of the IMR bit, but no 
interrupt request is passed to the core processor.
