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 ...

Whether an embedded system is a handheld Internet device, a telephone switch, or a complex aircraft control setup, the real-time operating system (RTOS) running it must guarantee uninterrupted service ...

The sequence of importance assigned to interrupts. If two interrupts occur simultaneously, the interrupt with the higher priority is serviced first. In some systems, a higher-priority interrupt can ...
