Just as you can often treat device registers as a memory-mapped struct, you can treat an interrupt vector as a memory-mapped array. In my last column, I suggested that you use casts sparingly and with ...

A computer cannot meet its requirements unless it communicates with its external devices. An interrupt is a communication gateway between the device and a processor. The allocation of an interrupt ...

This application note presents the RX family of microcontrollers on using multiple interrupts. The document includes the specifications, the operation confirmation conditions, the hardware and ...

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

Understanding RISC‑V traps is essential for Chip Designers building RISC‑V CPUs, microcontrollers, and complex SoCs. It’s equally important for Embedded Engineers who develop and debug software stacks ...

Endian format refers to how multibyte variables are stored in a byte-wide memory. In 'big endian' format, the most significant byte is stored in the first byte (lowest address). In 'little endian' ...

If there is an interrupt present then it will trigger the interrupt handler, the handler will stop the present instruction which is processing and save its configuration in a register and load the ...
