There is no way to call userspace code from an ISR. Unlike system calls which run on the stack of the userspace program, interrupt handlers use internal kernel memory for the stack. Since that memory is not visible in userspace, the system would crash the moment your ISR userspace function finishes or tries to use the stack for local variables (if not before, due to other reasons I have overlooked).

If you need to play with interrupts, you need to write a kernel driver.

Interrupt handling - Raspberry Pi Forums
Linux (and unix) in-general never really expected user-land code to handle hardware interrupts (that's the kernels job!), and that's the issue at-hand - there really is no API for handling interrupts in user-land code. So in the traditional sense, there isn't "ISR" - Interrupt Service Routine.

interrupt handling on the pi. - Raspberry Pi Forums
I am a first-time user of both the pi and these forums, and am in serious need of help. I need to write a routine which responds to external stimuli.

interrupt handling on the pi. - Raspberry Pi Forums
July 30, 2013 - Hi, I have recently completed this small project on a simple Character Device Driver, in which i am requesting for an interrupt and registering it with the Kernel,with an interrupt handler, 'r_irq_handler', using 'request_irq' function. The interrupt is external and is given to GPIO Pin, hence had to memory map the GPIO Base Register using 'ioremap'. A lot more info can be found from my Blog: http://blogsmayan.blogspot.in/p/program ...

You can of course call other functions from the interrupt handler, but again think about the cost of the prologue and epilogue before you do! When the raspberry-pi starts running our code, as we've discovered earlier in the turotials it loads the code from the SD card to RAM at address 0x00008000 and then starts executing the code.

Random Stuff: Programming Interrupts in Raspberry Pi using a simple Kernel Character Device Driver
In the user space application program, i will get the Process Id/Task ID of my running application using getpid() system call, /* setup the signal handler for SIG_TEST * SA_SIGINFO -> we want the signal handler function with 3 arguments */ struct sigaction sig; sig.sa_sigaction = receiveData; sig.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sigaction(SIG_TEST, &sig, NULL); memset(buf, 0, 100); fp =open("/dev/mydevice", O_RDWR); sprintf(buf, "%i", getpid()); if (write(fp, buf, strlen(buf) + 1) < 0) { perror("fwrite"); return -1; } and this Process ID/Task ID will be written to the Device Driver in the write routine, using copyfromuser(). In the Device Driver Module, in Kernel Space, based on this Process ID/Task ID, i will try and get the Task/Process Structure in the Interrupt Handler Bottom Half Handler/Tasklet Handler using find_get_pid() and pid_task(), Kernel APIs.

Because of the same reason, for a production ready OS you would probably want to wrap switch construct in the interrupt handler in a loop: in this way, you will be able to handle multiple interrupts during a single handler execution. Raspberry Pi system timer is a very simple device.

There are several things going on in your code. I suspect that what's really causing the problem is that you need to exit the interrupt handler before another interrupt callback can be triggered...but there is also a confusing mix of callback-based handlers and the GPIO.event_detected method.

I think you can simplify things by performing less manipulation of your interrupt configuration. Just have a state variable that starts at 0, increment it to 1 on the first interrupt, so the next time the interrupt method is called you know it's the second interrupt. No need to try setting multiple handlers like that.

Keeping in mind that I don't actually know what you're trying to do...I imagine something like this:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

state = 0

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(26, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(19, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)


def interrupt_handler(channel):
    global state

    print("interrupt handler")

    if channel == 19:
        if state == 1:
            state = 0
            print("state reset by event on pin 19")
    elif channel == 26:
        if state == 0:
            state = 1
            print("state set by event on pin 26")


GPIO.add_event_detect(26, GPIO.RISING,
                      callback=interrupt_handler,
                      bouncetime=200)

GPIO.add_event_detect(19, GPIO.RISING,
                      callback=interrupt_handler,
                      bouncetime=200)


while (True):
    time.sleep(0)
2 of 2
0

That sleep(0) just causes the process to idle there while waiting for switch interrupts. Since nothing in there programmatically ends the process, doing a Ctl-C will stop it.
