I try to develop programs for MCB1700 evaluation board. Is it possible to use software interrupts (SWI) without RTOS RTX?
Yes, except that on a Cortex M3 processor you'll use SVC instead of SWI. You don't need to use an RTOS to use this functionality.
SVC
SWI
The exception handler will be a little bit different than with SWI because of register stacking on entry to the exception.
Also be aware that unlike SWI, you cannot invoke SVC while running a SVC handler (whereas you could "nest" SWIs)
Yes, it's just a normal Cotex-M3 processor. You can use any RTOS you want and still be able to use the SWI features of the Cortex.
