Estimating the term…
The invention relates to an electronic device and a method for event handling in an electronic device comprising a bus master and a memory for storing a software program. A status of a software and/or hardware module is polled in a polling loop. The status polling loop is left and a low power mode is entered when the status polling loop is executed a second time. In other words, any second execution of the status polling loop is detected and the execution of the loop is then terminated. An active mode is entered upon a write operation to a first predefined reserved address indicating that information related to the status of the software and/or hardware module arrived.
An electronic device comprising a bus master and a memory for storing a software program, the software program being configured to poll a status of a software and/or hardware module, wherein the electronic device is configured to enter a status polling loop and to leave the status polling loop for entering a low power mode when the electronic device executes the status polling loop a second time and to enter an active mode upon a write operation to a first predefined reserved address indicating that information related to the status of the software and/or hardware module arrived, wherein the electronic device comprises a polling stage for detecting that the status polling loop is executed a second time.
A method for event handling in an electronic device comprising a bus master and a memory for storing a software program, the method comprising the steps of:
