* @section ARMCMx_MODES Kernel Modes
* The Cortex-Mx port supports two distinct kernel modes:
- * - <b>Normal Kernel</b> mode. In this mode the kernel handles IRQ priorities
- * in a simplified way, all interrupt sources are disabled when the kernel
- * enters into a critical zone and re-enabled on exit. This is simple and
- * adequate for most applications, this mode results in a more compact and
- * faster kernel.
* - <b>Advanced Kernel</b> mode. In this mode the kernel only masks
* interrupt sources with priorities below or equal to the
* @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_KERNEL level. Higher priorities are not affected by
* the kernel critical sections and can be used for fast interrupts.
* This mode is not available in the ARMv6-M architecture which does not
* support priority masking.
+ * - <b>Compact Kernel</b> mode. In this mode the kernel handles IRQ priorities
+ * in a simplified way, all interrupt sources are disabled when the kernel
+ * enters into a critical zone and re-enabled on exit. This is simple and
+ * adequate for most applications, this mode results in a more compact and
+ * faster kernel.
* .
* The selection of the mode is performed using the port configuration option
* @p CORTEX_SIMPLIFIED_PRIORITY. Apart from the different handling of
* interrupts there are no other differences between the two modes. The
* kernel API is exactly the same.
