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 ...

As Arm-based infrastructure continues to scale across markets, demands on system components increase. This can mean more interrupts, or signals from hardware/software to a processor to pause a task ...

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 ...

Interruptions aren’t just a staple of our daily lives. They’re also crucial for making computer systems work as well as they do, as they allow for a system to immediately respond to an event. While on ...

Setting up interrupts properly on a microcontroller isn't easy. The number of times an engineer has set up interrupts in his or her career doesn't seem to make a difference. Configuring interrupts ...

Fully Parameterized & Programmable Platform Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC) for RISC-V based Processor Systems supporting a user-defined number of interrupt sources and targets, and featuring a ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK -- May 12, 2008-- ARM today announced the immediate availability of the ARM PrimeCell® Generic Interrupt Controller (PL390). The Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) is a high-performance, ...

About 8.3 billion microprocessors were produced worldwide in 2009. However, microprocessors for information processing such as personal computers (PC) is about 0.15 billion (which is only 2% of the ...
