Change is extremely unlikely. A high threshold will be used, and a change will only occur because of some truly critical issue being identified during the public review cycle. Any other desired or ...

This document lists the optional platform interrupt controller API that abstracts the runtime configuration and control of interrupt controller from the generic code. The mandatory APIs are described ...

Setting up interrupts properly on a microcontroller isn't easy. The number of times an engineer has set up interrupts in his or her career doesn't seem to make a difference. Configuring interrupts ...

Interrupts are a major feature of most embedded microcontrollers and effective real time response to interrupts is vital in low power systems that often rely on a ‘run fast then stop’ approach to ...

Performance is a topic that never strays far from the mind of most embedded systems developers. However, relatively speaking, many of us have it easy. We develop soft real-time systems in which a few ...

Defining device drivers Discussing the difference between architecture-specific and board-specific drivers Providing several examples of different types of device drivers Most embedded hardware ...
