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 ...

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 ...

Those who have worked on a hobby operating system for x86 will have interacted with its rather complex and confusing ...

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 ...

Most of the latest three-axis digital microelectromechanical-system accelerometerson the market can generate interrupts for anumber of applications. Some of the applications,including screen rotation, ...
