1. An apparatus for managing an electronic system, comprising: a processor coupled to said electronic system for selectively programming a configuration register with interrupt parameters for performing an interrupt configuration procedure, said interrupt parameters including a trigger-type parameter and a CPU-line parameter; an interrupt source coupled to said electronic system for generating an interrupt for said electronic system; an interrupt module configured to flexibly detect a trigger type of said interrupt in accordance with said trigger-type parameter accessed from a trigger-type register, said interrupt module responsively routing said interrupt to said processor in accordance with said CPU-line parameter accessed from a CPU-line register to thereby execute an interrupt servicing procedure.
