Hi Robert,

Interrupts are not used by u-boot (with some rare exceptions). 
Generally things poll and there is usually some type of counter register 
(processor or board-specific) for measuring elapsed time.

If you really need interrupts, you will probably have to set up the 
vectors, interrupt registers, etc. yourself.
