ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for serial communication between a host device and a peripheral device. The method includes transmitting an interrupt command from the host to the peripheral in response to a peripheral interrupt signal and, substantially simultaneously, transmitting interrupt status data from the peripheral to the host, the interrupt status data representing a pending peripheral interrupt and indicating whether a communication error has occurred. The method also includes transmitting a continue code from the host to the peripheral based on the interrupt status data and, substantially simultaneously, transmitting information associated with the pending interrupt from the peripheral to the host in response to the interrupt command, the information having a predefined structure based on the interrupt status data for use in resolution of the pending interrupt. A system is also provided for performing the method.
