Catch a hardware interrupt

Question

I am writing a device driver (kernel level). I am new to kernel space and would like some help in understanding hardware interrupts.

I am writing driver for a new hardware for windows 7

I have already written the Interrupt service routine for all software interrupts.

My question is how do i proceed with writing Interrupt handler which would catch hardware interrupt.

Continuous polling is a bad idea so could any one suggest me some other idea to proceed with

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Perhaps you should read the documentation and some sample code for how to Register an ISR.
