I have put a "flags" array in shared memory, which the host polls on.

thx for your quick reply! i already thought about this way too. it'll probably get things running a little faster but this still cant be the best way of doing it?! in my ears "active polling" just never sounds quite efficient...

I don't think there is currently any alternative to polling.
There was a thread discussing this whole issue some time ago, which you might find interesting -

I think there may be some work underway in the latest FPGA developments to add an Epiphany-to-ARM interrupt mechanism, but I don't really know. Verilog, etc., is all a bit of a mystery to me, but I was wondering if that is what this is intended for -
