Software Interrupt within a Task

Posted by despr on May 18, 2016

Hello, I've been working on a project with SAMD21 and FreeRTOS.

I want to add in my code software interrupts. The tasks I have created are blocked and unblocked with Notifications. If the software interrupt I want to create, occur in the middle of a Task, how can I handle it? Can I use the fromISR functions since it's about a software interrupt and not a hardware one?

How can I make sure that the code execution will return to the same point after the software interrupt?

Thank you in advance. Regards


Software Interrupt within a Task

Posted by rtel on May 18, 2016

When you say software interrupt, do you mean an SVC call, or an interrupt generated by setting a bit in a SetPending register?

If you are setting a pending bit then the resultant interrupt will occur, and should be handled, in exactly the same way as a hardware generated interrupt.

Regards.
