Everyone in the team was experienced in using C in embedded systems. We also had a smattering of C++ experience in non-embedded applications. This was simply going to be a matter of C++’ing our old C tricks, right? We designed and coded some nifty Timer and UART drivers in C++. Data ...
In embedded systems, using interrupts is a method for handling external events which are by nature, not synchronized to your software running on the system. For example, detecting that a button was pressed. In general, when an interrupt event occurs, the core immediately stops executing the code...
demonstrates the use of a semaphore, or flag, variable to communicate between the ISR and the main code. This is a common practice in embedded systems design – it transferstasks from the ISR to the main code thus reducing CPU time spent in an ISR. The variable is defined as a ...
Hardware interrupts are an important part of many embedded systems. They allow events to occur asynchronously (not as part of any executing program) and notify the CPU that it should take some action. These types of interrupts can cause the CPU to stop whatever it was doing and execute some...
Understanding the interrupt system and how to use it is an essential part of embedded systems. The interrupt system and controller have an impact on how drivers and middleware are using the interrupts. The RTOS is a case where understanding and mastering the interrupts is critical to ensure prope...
(level 1) which will result in the CSIP handler being executed prior to returning to normal code execution. This is a common scenario in Real Time Operating Systems. For example a high level interrupt may trigger a context switch, but it could be undesirable to execute the context switch ...
Whether you have realized it by now, saving the current state, handling an interrupt and then restoring the state takes time. In systems with very tight deadlines and many interrupts, doing his frequently for multiple interrupts can take a significant amount of time and interfere with other inter...
