DETAILS

28x Timers

The 28x has three 32-bit timers.
The 28x timer counts downward from 'period' to 0; however, Timer_getCount will count upward.
The 28x timer supports an optional 16-bit prescalar. The prescalar effectively sets the period of the timer tick; the prescalar counts down from the prescale factor to 0, then a timer tick occurs. So, with a prescale set, the actual timer period is (prescale * period).

  0      0      Stop after next timer decrement. (Hard stop) 
  0      1      Stop after timer runs down to 0. (Soft stop) 
  1      x      Continue running the timer.

config Timer_extFreq // instance

index URL

Timer frequency

C synopsis target-domain

struct Timer_Params {

...

Types_FreqHz extFreq;

DETAILS

This parameter is meaningfull only on platforms where the timer clock can be changed. If value is left at zero, then default hookup of timer clock is assumed.

config Timer_hwiParams // instance

index URL

Parameters for the Hwi object created for the Timer ISR

C synopsis target-domain

struct Timer_Params {

...

Hwi_Params *hwiParams;

DETAILS

The mask setting for the Hwi object should include SELF to prevent nested timer interrupts.

config Timer_period // instance

index URL

Period of tick. Can be specified in timer counts or microseconds. Default is 0

C synopsis target-domain

struct Timer_Params {

...

UInt32 period;

DETAILS

The implementation of ITimer will support a period of UInt32 timer counts and use pre-scalars if necessary.

config Timer_periodType // instance

index URL

C synopsis target-domain

struct Timer_Params {

...

ITimer_PeriodType periodType;

config Timer_prescale // instance

index URL

Prescale factor

C synopsis target-domain

struct Timer_Params {

...

UInt16 prescale;

DETAILS

The prescale factor determines the length of a timer tick. If a prescale of 10 is specified, a timer tick will occur every 11 cycles.

If the timer is used as a counter, the prescale factor determines the period between counts. Otherwise, the prescale factor can be used to achieve longer timer periods: with a prescale specified, the actual period is (period * prescale+1).

...

ITimer_StartMode startMode;

Instance Creation

index URL

C synopsis target-domain

Timer_Handle Timer_create(Int id, ITimer_FuncPtr tickFxn, const Timer_Params *params, Error_Block *eb);

// Allocate and initialize a new instance object and return its handle

Void Timer_construct(Timer_Struct *structP, Int id, ITimer_FuncPtr tickFxn, const Timer_Params *params, Error_Block *eb);

// Initialize a new instance object inside the provided structure

ARGUMENTS

id — Timer id ranging from 0 to a platform specific value

tickFxn — function that runs upon timer expiry.

params — per-instance config params, or NULL to select default values (target-domain only)

eb — active error-handling block, or NULL to select default policy (target-domain only)

DETAILS

Create could fail if timer peripheral is unavailable. To request any available timer use ANY as the id. TimerId's are logical ids. The family-specific implementations map the ids to physical peripherals.

Instance Deletion

index URL

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_delete(Timer_Handle *handleP);

// Finalize and free this previously allocated instance object, setting the referenced handle to NULL

Void Timer_destruct(Timer_Struct *structP);

// Finalize the instance object inside the provided structure

Timer_getCount() // instance

C synopsis target-domain

UInt32 Timer_getCount(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

RETURNS

timer counter value

DETAILS

The 28x timer counts downward from the period to 0, but getCount subtracts the timer counter value from the period so that getCount counts upward instead of downward.

Timer_getFreq() // instance

index URL

Returns timer frequency in Hz

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_getFreq(Timer_Handle handle, Types_FreqHz *freq);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

C synopsis target-domain

UInt32 Timer_getPeriod(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

RETURNS

period in timer counts

Timer_getPrescale() // instance

index URL

Get timer prescale value

C synopsis target-domain

UInt16 Timer_getPrescale(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

RETURNS

prescale value

DETAILS

This is not the prescale count, but the period of the prescalar.

Timer_getPrescaleCount() // instance

index URL

Reads timer prescale counter

C synopsis target-domain

UInt16 Timer_getPrescaleCount(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

RETURNS

prescale counter, counting upward from 0

DETAILS

The prescale counter counts down from prescale to 0, but getPrescaleCount subtracts the counter value from the period so that this function counts upward instead of downward.

Timer_setFunc() // instance

index URL

Overwrite Timer function and arg

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_setFunc(Timer_Handle handle, ITimer_FuncPtr fxn, UArg arg);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

fxn — pointer to function

arg — argument to function

DETAILS

Replaces a Timer object's tickFxn function originally provided in create.

Timer_setPeriod() // instance

index URL

Sets timer period specified in timer counts

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_setPeriod(Timer_Handle handle, UInt32 period);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

period — period in timer counts

DETAILS

Timer_setPeriod() invokes Timer_stop() prior to setting the period and leaves the timer in the stopped state.

To dynamically change the period of a timer you must protect against re-entrancy by disabling interrupts. Use the following call sequence to guarantee proper results:

  // disable interrupts if an interrupt could lead to 
  // another call to Timer_start(). 
  key = Hwi_disable(); 
  Timer_setPeriod(period); 
  Timer_start(); 
  Hwi_restore(key);

ITimer implementation must support UInt32 and use pre-scalars whenever necessary

SIDE EFFECTS

Calls Timer_stop(), and disables the timer's interrupt.

Timer_setPeriodMicroSecs() // instance

index URL

Sets timer period specified in microseconds

C synopsis target-domain

Bool Timer_setPeriodMicroSecs(Timer_Handle handle, UInt32 microsecs);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

period — period in microseconds

DETAILS

A best-effort method will be used to set the period register. There might be a slight rounding error based on resolution of timer period register. If the timer frequency cannot support the requested period, ie the timer period register cannot support the requested period, then this function returns false.

Timer_setPeriodMicroSecs() invokes Timer_stop() prior to setting the period and leaves the timer in the stopped state.

To dynamically change the period of a timer you must protect against re-entrancy by disabling interrupts. Use the following call sequence to guarantee proper results:

  // disable interrupts if an interrupt could lead to 
  // another call to Timer_start(). 
  key = Hwi_disable(); 
  Timer_setPeriodMicroSecs(period); 
  Timer_start(); 
  Hwi_restore(key);

Timer_setPrescale() // instance

index URL

Set timer prescale value

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_setPrescale(Timer_Handle handle, UInt16 preScalar);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

preScalar — The value to set the prescale period to.

DETAILS

This function sets the value of the prescalar, and will also reload the timer counter and prescale registers.

The prescalar decrements with each timer clock source cycle until it reaches zero, then the timer's count is decremented by one. The prescalar has the effect of setting the rate of the timer tick.

Timer_start() // instance

index URL

Reloads and starts the timer

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_start(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

DETAILS

Thread safety must be observed when using the start and stop APIs to avoid possible miss- configuration of the timers and unintended behaviors. To protect against re-entrancy, surround the start/stop invocations with Hwi_disable() and Hwi_restore() calls:

  // disable interrupts if an interrupt could lead to 
  // another call to Timer_start(). 
  key = Hwi_disable(); 
  Timer_stop(); 
  ... 
  Timer_start(); 
  Hwi_restore(key);

SIDE EFFECTS

Enables the timer's interrupt.

Timer_stop() // instance

index URL

Stop the timer

C synopsis target-domain

Void Timer_stop(Timer_Handle handle);

ARGUMENTS

handle — handle of a previously-created Timer instance object

DETAILS

  // disable interrupts if an interrupt could lead to 
  // another call to Timer_start(). 
  key = Hwi_disable(); 
  Timer_stop(); 
  ... 
  Timer_start(); 
  Hwi_restore(key);

SIDE EFFECTS

Disables the timer's interrupt.
