Kinetis assembler instructions

[pvidic]

Hi, examining Kinetis bootloader source code I found assembler instruction below:

file cmsis_gcc.h:

__attribute__( ( always_inline ) ) __STATIC_INLINE void __disable_irq(void)
{
  __ASM volatile ("cpsid i" : : : "memory");
}

can anyone help me find explanation for the instruction?

"cpsid i" is an assembly instruction to mask (disable) the interrupts on ARM Cortex-M.

About the GNU assembler have a read at

Using as: Top and there is a tuturial and good explanation at ARM GCC Inline Assembler Cookbook 

I hope this helps,

Erich
