/**
* @page article_interrupts Writing interrupt handlers under ChibiOS/RT
* Since version 1.1.0 ChibiOS/RT offers a cross-platform method for writing
* interrupt handlers. Port-related and compiler-related details are
* encapsulated within standard system macros.<br>
* An interrupt handler assumes the following general form:
* @code
CH_IRQ_HANDLER(myIRQ) {
CH_IRQ_PROLOGUE();
// IRQ handling code, preemptable if the architecture supports it.
chSysLockFromIsr();
// Invocation of some I-Class system APIs, never preemptable.
chSysUnlockFromIsr().
// More IRQ handling code, again preemptable.
CH_IRQ_EPILOGUE();
}
* @endcode
* Note that only interrupt handlers that have to invoke system @ref I-Class
* APIs must be written in this form, handlers unrelated to the OS activity can
* omit the macros.
* Another note about the handler name "myIRQ", in some ports it must be a
* vector number rather than a function name, it could also be a name from
* within a predefined set, see the notes about the various ports.
* <h2>Important Notes</h2>
* - There is an important application note about ARM7 interrupt handlers,
* please read about it in the ARM7 port section: @ref ARM7_IH
* .
