Hardware interrupt, software interrupt, interrupt latency, and irq vs fiq. Apr 25, 2006 one of the two main types of interrupts, a hardware interrupt, is a signal to the system from an event that has originated in hardware, such as the pressing of a key on the keyboard, a movement of the mouse or a progression in the system clock. These will call kernel routines which will schedule the io to occur.
These instructions are inserted at desired locations in a program. Hardware interrupts are those interrupts which are caused by any peripheral device by sending a signal through a specified pin to the microprocessor. A nmi non maskable interrupt it is a single pin non maskable hardware interrupt which cannot be disabled. An interrupt is either a hardware generated call externally derived from a hardware signal or a software generated call internally derived from the execution of an instruction or by some other internal event 2.

For any particular processor, the number of hardware interrupts is limited by the number of interrupt request irq signals to the processor, whereas the number of software interrupts is determined by the processors instruction set. Hardware hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other devices.
The main difference is that with hardware interrupts you have to provide the function yourself, while with bios calls the functions are built into bios hence the name and you only have to give the input in the proper format.
