Reactive and real time many embedded systems must continually react to changes in the systems environment and must compute certain results in real time without any delay. In school, we learned to illustrate our algorithm using a flowchart.
Interrupt io is a way of controlling inputoutput activity whereby a peripheral or terminal that needs to make or receive a data transfer sends a signal. Chapter 7 inputoutput computer organization and architecture. Interrupt driven io inputoutput pic microcontroller. In an interrupt driven io, the io section itself is capable of accessing memory via the computer communication buses. In these computer system architecture notes pdf, we will introduce the students to the fundamental concepts of digital computer organization, design and architecture. The purpose of this lab is to compare interrupt driven routines with the polling routine developed previously. Last we will contrast polled io with interruptdriven io, the latter being a method of allowing devices to initiate io and hence avoid the waste of cpu cycles in. Cpu responds to interrupt signals and stores the return address from the program counter pc into the memory stack and then the control branches to a interrupt. It is the responsibility of io module to intimate the processor by interrupt signal.
Cpu asks dma controller to perform devicetomemory transfer. In all cases, the cpu needs to know when a peripheral has completed its assigned task, and this is done by setting a flag in the peripherals interface with the cpu. External interrupt in t o and in t 1 level triggered or transition triggered low 1to0 transition it0it10 it0it11 low. So, lets say your gps data is 40 bytes per transmission. A big disadvantage of interruptdriven inputoutput is that an interrupt occurs on each and every character of the string. Patterns for designing a generic device driver for interrupt. If the printer can print 100 characters per seconds, each character takes 10 msec to print. Usually multiplexed adc devices use interrupt driven io.
Io organization program driven and interrupt driven youtube. However, nowadays, many of my embedded projects are heavily interrupt driven where the main process runs some basic algorithm a variety of interrupt sources provide its stimulus. Therefore, a solution to this problem is to use dma. This interrupt is used by the micro to request attention from the local bus.

Interruptdriven software uart based on atmel software framework, tested on sam3 cortex m3 at 57600bps start bit detection is managed by programmed gpio falling edge interrupt handler, for bit timing is used timer counter, compare interrupt handler.
Avoid the interruptdriven model of time management. It takes the cpu 61 clock periods to respond to a hardware interrupt and begin executing the interrupt service routine. The processor, while waiting, must repeatedly interrogate the status of the input output module. The interrupt technique requires more complex hardware and software, but makes far more efficient use of the computers time and capacities. At a time appropriate to the priority level of the io interrupt. When a process initiates an auxiliary action to be carried out by some other process for example, when a device driver starts the hardware action that will output data to a disk drive, the initiating process may need to suspend its own activities until such time as the auxiliary action runs to completion.
