Outline • Interrupts in PC • Interrupts and calls • 8259 – PIC • Programming 8259 • Interfacing 8259 in PC
8086/88 Interrupts • 256 Interrupts. • Types 00 ……. FF. • Type is provided in a specified timing.
Answering an Interrupt • Save status • FR, IP, CS • Service the interrupt • Interrupt service routing (ISR) or Interrupt handler • Based on Interrupt vector number • From Interrupt vector table • Four bytes for every interrupt: CS:IP • Return to original position by IRET
Difference with Call • CALL FAR can jump to any location (1M range) • Hardware interrupts can come at any time. • Interrupts are maskable. • After CALL only CS:IP is saved • End of routine: RETF vs. IRET.
Interrupt Categories • Hardware interrupts: • Only 3 pin, but how 256 interrupt? • INTR (in), NMI (in), and INTA (out) • INTR can be masked by CLI / STI • Active high. • 80x86 finished instruction. • Push FR, CS, IP • NMI: INT 02. • Software interrupts • INT nn • Example: INT 21H (DOS functions)
Predefined Interrupts • INT 00 (divide error) • INT 01 (single step) • Set Trap flag (how?) • PUSHF, POP AX, … • Trace in debug • INT 02 (NMI) • INT 03 (breakpoint) • INT 04 (signed number overflow) • INT) instruction • Examine Interrupt vector table. • Examine INT 12H (size of conventional RAM in AX)
Masking and Prioritization • OCW (operation command word)
8259 in PC XT ICW1: 13H ICW2: 08H ICW3: 09H
Edge Triggered and Interrupt Sharing • Level triggered mode: IRQ line should be brought down before EOI. • Edge triggered mode: noise on IRQ lines might cause false interrupts. • New computer and busses. • Level triggered. • Interrupt sharing.
