Software Interrupt (INT)

The instruction INT generates a Software Interrupt. This instructions takes one argument (embedded within the operational code) which is the 8-bits interrupt vector.

Notice that address 0x0000 is the one for the Timer and 0x0001 is the one for Fault. This means that both Timer and Fault interrupts can be simulated by software (INT 0 and INT 1 respectively).
