I have an Arduino Uno (awesome little device!). It has two interrupts; let's call them 0 and 1 . I attach a handler to interrupt 0 and a different one to interrupt 1, using attachInterrupt() : http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AttachInterrupt . Interrupt 0 is triggered and it calls its handler, which does some number crunching. If interrupt 0 's handler is still executing when interrupt 1 is triggered, what will happen? Will interrupt 1 interrupt interrupt 0 , or will interrupt 1 wait until interrupt 0 's handler is done executing? Please note that this question specifically relates to

I'm very much interested in building applications for Embedded Devices. I'm in my 3rd year Electrical Engineering and I'm passionate about coding, algorithms, Linux OS, etc. And also by Googling I found out that Linux OS is one of the best OSes for Embedded devices(may be/may not be). I want to work for companies which work on mobile applications. I'm a newbie/naive to this domain & my skills include C/C++ & MySQL. I need help to get started in the domain of Embedded Systems; like how/where to start off, Hardware prerequisites, necessary programming skills, also what kind of Embedded

I am trying to use GDB to debug a Linux kernel zImage before it is decompressed. The kernel is running on an ARM target and I have a JTAG debugger connected to it with a GDB server stub. The target has to load a boot loader. The boot loader reads the kernel image from flash and puts it in RAM at 0x20008000 , then branches to that location. I have started GDB and connected to the remote target, then I use GDB's add-symbol-file command like so: add-symbol-file arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux 0x20008000 -readnow When I set a breakpoint for that address, it does trap at the correct place - right

I am doing a VoIP project on embedded device. I have built a sample using a 32bits MCU with a low grade audio codec. Now I found that there is echo issue on my device, that is I can hear what I said from the speaker. I have do some research and found that most appliaction use a DSP codec with acoustic echo cancellation feature. However, is it possible that I do the acoustic echo cancellation in the software, using my 32bits MCU? Can you adive the algorithm, or even source code:P, for doing acoustic echo cancellation? I know sophisticated method is not possible on a MCU, whereas a simple

I have an embedded system posting data to a JSON REST service via HTTP. I'm currently using HMAC-SHA1 for authentication, the same way that Amazon AWS does it. I'm now exploring options for encrypting the data in transit. HTTPS Seems like the logical choice as the server-end would need very little changed. However, my microcontroller has a relatively small flash (256KB) and RAM (96KB) and the only HTTPS clients I can find are commercial products. The microcontroller makes encryption simpler with built in 'AES encryption lookup tables', but I'm guessing I need a secure way to exchange the keys.
