How Interrupt Works
In previous article, we have discussed the basics of interrupt. In order to be able to trigger an interrupt, the hardware connected to the main processor (CPU) must be interrupt-capable, i.e. generate an output signal (electrical voltage at an output pin) via the so-called interrupt line when a certain event occurs. The CPU generally has separate pins for maskable (disabled) interrupts (INTR) and … [Read more...]
What is Interrupt?
In computer science, an interrupt is a short-term interruption of the normal execution of a program, in order to process a usually short, but time-critical, process. The triggering event is called an interrupt request (IRQ). After this request, the processor executes an interrupt handler, interrupt service routine, or ISR. The interrupt routine is executed with extended privileges (on appropriate … [Read more...]
