The 8086's Bus Interface Unit (BIU) handles the memory request in hardware, while the microcode waits. The BIU has an adder to combine the segment address and the offset to obtain the "absolute" address. It also has a constant ROM to increment or decrement theINDregister. Memory accesses ...
Microprocessor interrupts are divided into fault, trap or abort conditions. For fault conditions, the instruction that caused the fault is retried after the interrupt service routine has been executed. For trap conditions, the next instruction in the program being run by the CPU is executed after ...

When an interrupt occurs during execution of ring 0 code, the microprocessor copies the state of the last virtual 8086 environment on the top of the ring 0 stack and modifies this state to begin execution of the appropriate interrupt service routine in virtual 8086 mode. The kernel utilizes a...
which requires a 20-bit address. Rather than introduce a 20-bit register into the 8086, the 20-bit address is split into two portions--a 16-bitsegment address and a 16-bit offset address, which are stored in different registers. The microprocessor shifts the segment address 4 bits left (...
I/O Interface. INTRO TO I/O INTERFACE I/O instructions (IN, INS, OUT, and OUTS) are explained. Also isolated (direct or I/O mapped I/O) and memory-mapped. The Principle and Application of Microcontrollers Kustanto,S.T.,M.EngECE/CS-352: Embedded Microcontroller Systems Embedded Systems...
A method for allowing a protected mode kernel to service, in virtual 8086 mode, hardware interrupts which occur during execution of ring 0 protected mode code. When an interrupt occurs during execution of ring 0 code, the microprocessor copies the state of the last virtual 8086 environment on ...
The interrupt vector table is usually located in low memory. Interrupt vectors 0 to 31 are usually reserved for microprocessor interrupts. The remainder can be used for hardware or software interrupts. The interrupt type number determines its place within the interrupt vector table and its priority ...
(a) The interrupt vector table for the Intel microprocessor; (b) the contents of an interrupt vector. In an interrupt vector table, the first five interrupt vectors are identical in all Intel microprocessor family members, from the 8086 to the Pentium. Other interrupt vectors exist for the ...
CPU 15 may be any type of processor designed to do any type of process function. One example would be the INTEL 8086 microprocessor. Shared memory 13 may be any type of random access memory, such as Mostek MK 4802. Programmable interrupt controller 14 may be an INTEL 8259A which serves ...
