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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a System-on Chip(SoC),a general interrupt process works as follows: Interrupt is triggered by a certain system event or interrupt source. Interrupt is detected by system’s peripheral module, which ...

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 ...
