System Tick Timer Configuration. |
The System Tick Time (SysTick) generates interrupt requests on a regular basis. This allows an OS to carry out context switching to support multiple tasking. For applications that do not require an OS, the SysTick can be used for time keeping, time measurement, or as an interrupt source for tasks that need to be executed regularly.
The code below shows the usage of the function SysTick_Config() with an LPC1700.
#include "LPC17xx.h" uint32_t msTicks = 0; /* Variable to store millisecond ticks */ void SysTick_Handler(void) { /* SysTick interrupt Handler. msTicks++; See startup file startup_LPC17xx.s for SysTick vector */ } int main (void) { uint32_t returnCode; returnCode = SysTick_Config(SystemCoreClock / 1000); /* Configure SysTick to generate an interrupt every millisecond */ if (returnCode != 0) { /* Check return code for errors */ // Error Handling } while(1); }
uint32_t SysTick_Config | ( | uint32_t | ticks | ) |
Initialises and starts the System Tick Timer and its interrupt. After this call, the SysTick timer creates interrupts with the specified time interval. Counter is in free running mode to generate periodical interrupts.
