Hello,
In my project I'm using LM3S3748 ARM chip. I must be able to capture the falling edge of a signal running at 2.5 - 5MHz and then generate interrupt. My question is what would be better/easier to use and what is the difference between these two methods. As I'm looking at the datasheets both methods seem to be doing the same thing.
the timer interrupt - signal's pass thru and detect by the micro by a certain time while the GPIO interrupt is when the micro detect a higher signal not equivalent to a reference thus the interrupt executed.
