Study Notes

  • Interrupts act as hardware-generated function calls.
  • I/O devices generate signals to the processor, which interrupts software execution.
  • The processor executes an appropriate interrupt service routine (ISR) for the I/O device.
  • An interrupt priority encoding system is used to manage multiple interrupts.
  • The interrupt service routine must make the I/O device turn off the interrupt signal and send an end of interrupt (EOI) signal to the PIC.
  • The ISR must save context and finish execution promptly.
  • Interrupt windows must be closed to prevent conflicts with background code.
  • The PIC is programmable and can be accessed at port addresses 0x20 and 0x21.
  • Exceptions and software interrupts are internal and not based on external I/O devices.
  • Example code for COM2 receiver interrupts is provided.
