AM64x MCU+ SDK  09.02.01
SDL MCU VTM

Introduction

This example demonstrates the usage of the VTM to detect overtemperature events and signal the events through the ESM. The example shows how to configure the VTM for the various alerts and listen for VTM events using the ESM. It also shows forcing an error in order to demonstrate application notification of overtemperature events.

The example demonstrates:

  • Configuring the VTM thresholds
  • Early alert event detection
  • Critial threshold event detection
  • Follow-up event notification when temperature has dropped to a safe level

Use Cases

Use Case Description
UC-0 Configuration of VTM threshold to trigger early warning, then return thresholds back to normal to simulate "cooling down".
UC-1 Configuration of VTM to trigger early warning, then alter the thresholds again to pass temperature critical threshold. Then, return thresholds back to normal to simulate "cooling down".

Supported Combinations

Parameter Value
