We love interrupts in our microcontroller projects. If you aren’t already convinced, go read the first installment in this series where we covered the best aspects of interrupts. But everything is not ...
Core (or Processor) is heart of any SoC which controls all the operations of modern day chip. In order to extract the maximum performance out of it, generally Interrupt Based Software is written. But ...
What’s the biggest difference between writing code for your big computer and a microcontroller? OK, the memory and limited resources, sure. But we were thinking more about the need to directly ...
Just as you can often treat device registers as a memory-mapped struct, you can treat an interrupt vector as a memory-mapped array. In my last column, I suggested that you use casts sparingly and with ...
A computer cannot meet its requirements unless it communicates with its external devices. An interrupt is a communication gateway between the device and a processor. The allocation of an interrupt ...
In a System-on Chip(SoC),a general interrupt process works as follows: Interrupt is triggered by a certain system event or interrupt source. Interrupt is detected by system’s peripheral module, which ...
Traditionally programmers and organizations have had an irrational fear of using interrupts. One might think that statement is facetious but on more than one occasion in the last year the author has ...
Callbacks are references to executable code that higher levels of software pass into a function. These callbacks have the ability to greatly increase the portability and reuse of embedded software, ...
