Creating interrupt to a specific core

Postby Foxtrot813 » Sun Apr 29, 2018 3:49 am

Hi all,

I'm trying to discover if there is a way to pin an interrupt to a specific core, but I'm not finding much information about that. Say I have this timer interrupt configured:

Code: Select all

static void initTimerGroup0(int timer_idx, bool auto_reload, double timer_interval_sec)
{
	timer_config_t config;
	config.divider = TIMER_DIVIDER;
	config.counter_dir = TIMER_COUNT_UP;
	config.counter_en = TIMER_PAUSE;
	config.alarm_en = TIMER_ALARM_EN;
	config.intr_type = TIMER_INTR_LEVEL;
	config.auto_reload = auto_reload;
	timer_init(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx, &config);

	timer_set_counter_value(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx, 0x00000000ULL);

	timer_set_alarm_value(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx, timer_interval_sec*TIMER_SCALE);
	timer_enable_intr(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx);
	timer_isr_register(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx, adcGetRaw, (void *)timer_idx, ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM, NULL);

	timer_start(TIMER_GROUP_0, timer_idx);
}
Is there a way to attach it to core 1 or core 0? If not, how may I know on which CPU this interrupt will execute?

The interrupt will always be allocated on the core that runs this function.

And you can create task pinned to core.

Just make sure the task that allocated the interrupt is pinned to the core that you want the interrupt to occur on.

Thanks guys, it worked. There's more interrupt manipulation than I thought, and from what I read, it's always advisable to create interrupt in a task pinned to a specific core....
