Adding Interrupt handling to SIS3100 driver |
|
|
Hello Pierre-Andre,
thank you for your help with the interrupt handling. To close this case I'll
attach my interrupt
handling code for the SIS 3100 to this post as a reference. Maybe someone wants
to do something
similar in the future.
I've decide to go for a C++ frontend therefore it is a class that handles
everything. The user only
has to provide a function pointer to the constructor that handles the interrupt
bitmask. The
interrupt handling is done with a timedwait within a separate thread.
Cheers,
Clemens

This class provides an easy to use interface for handling interrupts with the Stuck SIS3100 VME
interface. When using this class create an instance and pass an unused device number to the
constructor and a function pointer to handle the interrupt.
The interrupt handling is done in a separate thread that waits with a timeout of 500 ms for a
SIGUSR1 signal from the SIS kernel driver. In case of a timeout the loop checks if a thread stop
signal from midas is present and then waits again for an interrupt. If an interrupt occurs the
interrupt vector is loaded and a veto gate is produced by the @ref startVeto function on the
NIM port 1. Afterwards a user supplied function that takes the interrupt bitask, the highest
interrupt level and its vector as arguments is executed. After that the interrupts get acknowledged
and the veto gate is closed.
This class uses a separate device to avoid race conditions and for the low level interface to the
irq setup.
