NVIC is an on-chip controller that provides fast and low latency response to interrupt-driven events in ARM Cortex-M MCUs. In this tutorial, We will explain the role of the nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) in interrupt handling requests of ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. At the start, we will explain the exception and interrupt concepts that are … Read more
In this tutorial, we will talk about the interrupt vector table. Firstly, we will define the interrupt vector table (IVT). Secondly, we will see the role of IVT for interrupts and exceptions processing in microcontrollers or microprocessors. After that, we will see the interrupt vector table of TM4C123G ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller. Almost all modern … Read more
In this tutorial, we will learn to install Mosquitto MQTT broker on Windows machine as well as Linux Ubuntu operating system. An MQTT broker is the main component of an MQTT protocol. It receives MQTT messages from all MQTT clients and forwards them to all clients which subscribed to those topics. In this tutorial, we … Read more
