Interrupt handling (Raspberry Pi)

Interrupt handling on the Raspberry Pi is concerned with all software and hardware used to configure and process interrupts. An example of an interrupt that can be enabled on the Raspberry Pi is that from the BCM2835 System Timer, which is used in Embedded Xinu to implement preemptive multitasking. Interrupt handling on the Raspberry Pi consists of two complementary parts:

• Interrupt handling (ARM)
• BCM2835 Interrupt Controller
