Hello, I want , for testing and getting to know better the interrupt handlers mechanism in the linux kernel, to write a simple module with an interrupt handler. I want to register an interrupt in the range 1-16 , as device interrupts are. I know the example from LDD 3 about parrlel port , where you connect pins, but I do not know the locations of such pins. So my question is : is there a way to do such a thing in a different way? I do not want to use an existing interrupt, like timer or network card or disk , because it is called many times each sec. I want that this interrupt will be called once as a response to a predfined operation; performing this predfined operation again will again create the interrupt and call the interrupt handler. If there is a way to do such a thing : to register a device interreupt (in the range 1-16), so that a use space program (like ioctl , or cat /dev/mymodle , etc.) will generate such interrupt ? ( Or let's say pressing some keyboard combinatiion ?) Regards, John -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
