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 ...

A signal created and sent to the CPU that is caused by some action taken by a hardware device. For example, keystroke depressions and mouse movements cause hardware interrupts. See IRQ and interrupt.

Device Manager Error Code 36 occurs when the IRQ (Interrupt Request) translation fails for a peripheral device. An IRQ is a signal sent by a hardware device to a ...

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 ...

This hardware/software combination lets OSes offload all TCP/IP traffic to the specialized hardware. TCP/IP has long been the common language for network traffic, and recent initiatives such as ...

As embedded systems hardware is becoming more powerful, the demand for high quality, sophisticated and compelling applications is increasing. In addition to that, due to fierce competition in the ...

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 ...
