Project description
Hardware Context Target hardware: Embedded Linux boards (e.g., Raspberry Pi, AM335x, i.MX, etc.) Ethernet controller: WIZnet W5500 SPI-to-Ethernet chip Interface: SPI + dedicated IRQ pin for network interrupt events Project Overview Pradeep Tewani, an Embedded Linux developer and trainer, explains how interrupt handling in Linux device drivers works, and demonstrates its application in real embedded scenarios — particularly for SPI-based network controllers such as the WIZnet W5500. When a hardware interrupt occurs (for example, when the W5500 signals data reception or transmit-complete)…
