As a course of learning linux device drivers, I'm implementing a PCIe driver, and I'd like to understand at what level the interrupts can be or should be enabled/disabled. I intentionally do not specify OS, as I'm assuming it should be relevant for any platform. By levels I mean the following: a) OS specific interrupts handling framework b) Interrupts can be disabled or enabled in th...

I am new to embedded systems. I have few questions a)Can key board clicks be considered as hardware interrupts or software interrupts? b) How are interrupts different from function calls or subroutines? In both cases current state of execution is saved (in stack) and the Interrupt service routine or called function is executed and after finishing it, normal execution is resumed. ...

Hello, I'm using the MPC500 quickstart libraries, but I'm having trouble using external interrupts. My board is a PB-0555 manufactured by Axiom, and I'm using Codewarrior.

Hi All I want some feedback as to whether what I am doing is correct. I am using a DS80C320 with a Phillips SC28L198 8 channel UART. 2 interrupts are triggered by the internal UARTS, 1 by the phillips chip and another by timer 0. I have found that for reliable operation i must turn all interrupts off when servicing the internal uart interrupts, and when putting a character into the ring...

Hi - I was attempting to get the two external interrupts working on an AVR. I have attached the code I wrote. My problem is that it seems it is only detecting when INT0 is pressed - but I'm not sure about this. The way I wrote it I never use the RETI statement - and I don't know if other interrupts can be called when a interrupt handler is running. But also - another problem - so to tr...

Disabling interrupts to protect data

Hi Guys, I am working on some RTOS, in which I see lot of interrupts "enabling" and "disabling" code in most of the RTOS API's to protect kernel data. For example, Semaphore API's, Message Queue APIs, Runtime memory management API's. Is enabling / disabling interrupts only to protect the kernel data? Why I am asking this is whenever interrupts are disabled, I am scared of losing timer int...

Hi, We are experiencing some issues with external interrupts resetting an Analog Devices ADuC842 controller (8051 family). The system we are working on analyses sensorial data from a rotary encoder connected to EX0. The interrupt is configured to be level-triggering. In our current set-up, the controller spontaneously resets when the rate with which the sensor interrupts occur exce...

If the 8051chip is servicing a lower priority interrupt and I want it to be interrupted by a higher priority interrupt, do I have to enable interrupts - EA = 1 - as sson as I enter lower priority ISR. In other words, does the 8051 disables all interrupts when it enters an ISR ?

Hi, I'm working with an MCU that has 4 interrupts on external PINs, and I wish to interrupt on an active low input. However, 3 of the interrupts are active high interrupt while the last one, though it's an active low interrupt, is also labelled a non-maskable interrupt. I want to be able to mask the interrupt since I don't want it enabled all the time. Other than using an inverter, is there ...

Hi! I'm currently trying to use the onboard timer on the Adlink PCI7224 [1] to generate fast interrupts under WinNT/RTX. But I couldn't manage it to generate an interrupt. The interrupthandler is attached and reacts on software triggered interrupts. But also the timer i8254 is running, no "local" interrupt at the PLX 9052 is generated, and so #INTA line does not change. I also trie...
