ABSTRACT:
A bidirectional interrupt technique and mechanism is described for handling programmable length interrupt messages between two devices, preferably both processors, through dual, programmably defined memory queues. The technique and mechanism automatically updates a read and write address counter, a queue count register, and an interrupt count register for each direction of the flow of interrupts.
