FIRQ generator<br />
The FIRQ line on a 6809 microprocessor is the second of three interrupt lines, NMI and IRQ being<br />
the other two. It is used in the ES/2 for scheduling various software routines including :<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Polling the keys.<br />
Tach timeout.<br />
Diagnostic port processing.<br />
Checking video periods.<br />
FPGA SPLIT (U38) contains the firq generator. It simply counts the main system ‘Q pulse’ and<br />
generates a low going pulse on the FIRQ line after 5ms. The firq subroutine then cancels the low<br />
level by writing to a location which clears the output latch.<br />
