Pdf an introduction to microprocessor 8085 researchgate. The main difference between interrupt and polling is that, in the case of an interrupt, the device notifies the cpu that it requires attention while, in the case of polling, the cpu continuously checks the status of the device to find whether it requires attention generally, an operating system is the layer between the hardware and user programs.
