Abstract
Configuration information is sent from a configuration controller to a processor module in a System On Chip (SOC) and associated with firmware. In response to receiving the configuration information, context switching associated with an interrupt pin in the processor module is disabled. Hardware state information is sent from a hardware functional module in the SOC to the interrupt pin. In response to receiving the hardware state information, the processor module determines, based at least in part on the hardware state information and after completing any active firmware operations per the disabled context switching, a response. The response is received at a responding module and the responding module performs a process associated with the response.
