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.
