  • Computer system and interrupt event handing method thereof
    Patent number: 10635612
    Abstract: A computer system and a handling method thereof for an interrupt event are provided. The computer system includes an embedded controller, a system memory, and a processing unit. The embedded controller has an internal memory and triggers an interrupt event. The processing unit is coupled to the embedded controller and the system memory, and receives a notification of the interrupt event. In response to the interrupt event, the processing unit reads an event identifier corresponding to the interrupt event at a specific address section in the internal memory or maps the event identifier corresponding to the interrupt event at the specific address section in the internal memory of the embedded controller to the system memory. The processing unit notifies a hardware driver program corresponding to the event identifier. Accordingly, efficiency of handling the interrupt event is effectively enhanced.
