5.4.10 Vector Address registers 0-15 (VICVectAddr0-15 - 0xFFFF F100-13C)
These are a read/write accessible registers. These registers hold the addresses of the
Interrupt Service routines (ISRs) for the 16 vectored IRQ slots.

5.4.11 Default Vector Address register (VICDefVectAddr - 0xFFFF F034)
This is a read/write accessible register. This register holds the address of the Interrupt
Service routine (ISR) for non-vectored IRQs.

5.4.12 Vector Address register (VICVectAddr - 0xFFFF F030)
This is a read/write accessible register. When an IRQ interrupt occurs, the IRQ service
routine can read this register and jump to the value read.

5.4.13 Protection Enable register (VICProtection - 0xFFFF F020)
This is a read/write accessible register. This one-bit register controls access to the VIC
registers by software running in User mode.

User manual
Description
When one or more interrupt request or software interrupt is (are) enabled,
classified as IRQ, asserted, and assigned to an enabled vectored IRQ slot,
the value from this register for the highest-priority such slot will be provided
when the IRQ service routine reads the Vector Address register -VICVectAddr
(Section 5.4.10).
Description
When an IRQ service routine reads the Vector Address register
(VICVectAddr), and no IRQ slot responds as described above, this address is
returned.
Description
If any of the interrupt requests or software interrupts that are assigned to a
vectored IRQ slot is (are) enabled, classified as IRQ, and asserted, reading
from this register returns the address in the Vector Address Register for the
highest-priority such slot (lowest-numbered) such slot. Otherwise it returns the
address in the Default Vector Address Register.
Writing to this register does not set the value for future reads from it. Rather,
this register should be written near the end of an ISR, to update the priority
hardware.
Value Description
0 VIC registers can be accessed in User or privileged mode.
1 The VIC registers can only be accessed in privileged mode.
Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The
value read from a reserved bit is not defined.
