Getting hardware interrupt in user-space program
Hi,
I am working on an embedded Linux project. In the project, I wish to get a GPIO interrupt in my user-space program. I read about using UIO to get kernel interrupt from user-space. However, it seems that I will have to do a blocking call, such as read(), poll(), to wait for interrupt happens. But I don't want to block and wait. Is there a solution would let my program act like a bare-metal project, where I attach an interrupt handler to the system and free to preform other tasks until an interrupt happens and the program jumps to the ISR?
Thanks,
Wei Xu
