Hi Naga,
A couple of notes and comments that should be helpful...
-On the LPC series of MCU's, you'll be looking for the pins that can
be configured as EINT# pins. These will allow for a state change on
the input pin to trigger an interrupt handler on the MCU.
-In the manual, there is a section on the vectored interrupt
controller. It will be critical that you read and understand this
chapter. The general process is to assign the address of the function
handler to the respective VIC register, configure the peripheral, and
enable the interrupt.
-When implementing the interrupt function, it's almost identical to a
normal function, however the function prolong and epilogue is modified
with compiler directives and/or assembler code. An example can be
found in the psas freertos-5.1.2 repo, under
LPCUSBIntegrationTesting/usb.c. There are two primary methods of
modifying the function. The first is using the compiler directive,
which may or may not be broken, depending on the version of gcc your
running. The second is to mark the function as naked and provide
assembler instructions at the beginning and end of the function to
save and restore context.
I think this should get you started in the right direction...
Regards,
-Dave
