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 ...

In my therapy practice, I often hear couples say, “Don't interrupt me. It’s my turn to talk.” Feeling shamed, the person may back off sheepishly, but are they still listening? I know, I know, ...

A technical paper titled “CV32RT: Enabling Fast Interrupt and Context Switching for RISC-V Microcontrollers” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and University of Bologna. “Processors using the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Normal execution of a given software application is contained within the bounds of one program, or instruction stream. Such execution is provable, as well as traceable. However, system designers and ...

Proper synchronization constructs, structured and deterministic code flow will help you avoid Thread.Abort or Thread.Interrupt methods and terminate threads gracefully In C#, you might often need to ...

During normal operations, executing interrupt service routines (ISRs) using conventional approaches requires tight coordination between the system’s interrupt controller (INTC) and the core ...

After an upgrade to a newer version of Windows or after you update Windows to the latest build or after you have installed new software or hardware, you may get the ...
