See WFE on page 3 59 for more information If the event register is 1 this indicates that the processor must not enter sleep mode on execution of a WFE instruction Typically this is because of the assertion of an external event signal or in a multiprocessor system because another processor has executed an SEV instruction see SEV on page 3 57 Software cannot access this register directly Sleep on exit If the SLEEPONEXIT bit of the SCR is set to 1 when the processor completes the execution of an exception handler and returns to Thread mode it immediately enters sleep mode Use this mechanism in applications that only require the processor to run when an interrupt occurs 2 5 2 Wakeup from sleep mode The conditions for the processor to wakeup depend on the mechanism that caused it to enter sleep mode Wakeup from WFI or sleep on exit Normally the processor wakes up only when it detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause exception entry Some embedded systems might have to execute system restore tasks after the processor wakes up and before it executes an interrupt handler To achieve this set the PRIMASK bit to 1 If an interrupt arrives that is enabled and has a higher priority than current exception priority the processor wakes up but does not execute the interrupt handler until the processor sets PRIMASK to zero For more information about PRIMASK see Exception mask register on page 2 8 Wakeup from WFE The
