/** * @page article_interrupts Writing interrupt handlers under ChibiOS/RT * @{ * Since version 1.1.0 ChbiOS/RT offers a cross-platform system for writing * interrupt handlers. Port-related and compiler-related details are * encapsulated within standard system macros.
* An interrupt handler assumes the following general form: * @code CH_IRQ_HANDLER(myIRQ) { CH_IRQ_PROLOGUE(); // IRQ handling code, preemptable if the architecture supports it. chSysLockFromIsr(); // Invocation of some I-Class system APIs, never preemptable. chSysUnlockFromIsr(). // More IRQ handling code, again preemptable. CH_IRQ_EPILOGUE(); } * @endcode * Note that only interrupt handlers that have to invoke system I-Class APIs * must be written in this form, handlers unrelated to the OS activity can * omit the macros. * Another note about the handler name "myIRQ", in some ports it must be a * vector number rather than a function name, it could also be a name from * within a predefined set, see the notes about the various ports. *

Important Notes

* - There is an important application note about ARM7 interrupt handlers, * please read about it in the ARM7 port section: @ref ARM7_IH */ /** @} */
