Abstract
Alternative reporting channels are implemented for interrupts to a microcontroller device. An access device for a microcontroller may support performing requests from a microcontroller to controlled devices via an interconnect. The access device may have a separate communication channel with at least one of the controlled devices to receive interrupts. When an interrupt is signaled, an indication of the interrupt may be stored at a storage device at the access device. The microcontroller may read from the storage device at the access device to obtain the indication of the interrupt.
