Detailed Description

Low level interface to the low power ticker of a target.

# Defined behavior * Has a reported frequency between 4KHz and 64KHz - verified by lp_ticker_info_test * Has a counter that is at least 12 bits wide - verified by lp_ticker_info_test * Continues operating in deep sleep mode - verified by lp_ticker_deepsleep_test * All behavior defined by the ticker specification

# Undefined behavior * See the ticker specification * Calling any function other than lp_ticker_init after calling lp_ticker_free

# Potential bugs * Glitches due to ripple counter - Verified by lp_ticker_glitch_test

Function Documentation

const ticker_data_t * get_lp_ticker_data ( void   )

Get low power ticker's data.

Returns:
The low power ticker data

Definition at line 42 of file mbed_lp_ticker_api.c.

void lp_ticker_clear_interrupt ( void   )

Clear the low power ticker interrupt.

Pseudo Code:

 void lp_ticker_clear_interrupt(void)
 {
     // Write to the ICR (interrupt clear register) of the LPTMR
     LPTMR_ICR = LPTMR_ICR_COMPARE_Msk;
 }
void lp_ticker_disable_interrupt ( void   )

Disable low power ticker interrupt.

Pseudo Code:

 void lp_ticker_disable_interrupt(void)
 {
     // Disable the compare interrupt
     LPTMR_CTRL &= ~LPTMR_CTRL_COMPARE_ENABLE_Msk;
 }
void lp_ticker_fire_interrupt ( void   )

Set pending interrupt that should be fired right away.

Pseudo Code:

 void lp_ticker_fire_interrupt(void)
 {
     NVIC_SetPendingIRQ(LPTMR_IRQn);
 }
void lp_ticker_free ( void   )

Deinitialize the lower power ticker.

Powerdown the lp ticker in preparation for sleep, powerdown, or reset.

After calling this function no other ticker functions should be called except lp_ticker_init(). Calling any function other than init after freeing is undefined.

Note:
This function stops the ticker from counting.
const ticker_info_t * lp_ticker_get_info ( void   )

Get frequency and counter bits of this ticker.

Pseudo Code:

 const ticker_info_t* lp_ticker_get_info()
 {
     static const ticker_info_t info = {
         32768,      // 32KHz
         16          // 16 bit counter
     };
     return &info;
 }
void lp_ticker_init ( void   )

Initialize the low power ticker.

Initialize or re-initialize the ticker. This resets all the clocking and prescaler registers, along with disabling the compare interrupt.

Pseudo Code:

 void lp_ticker_init()
 {
     // Enable clock gate so processor can read LPTMR registers
     POWER_CTRL |= POWER_CTRL_LPTMR_Msk;

     // Disable the timer and ensure it is powered down
     LPTMR_CTRL &= ~(LPTMR_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk | LPTMR_CTRL_COMPARE_ENABLE_Msk);

     // Configure divisors - no division necessary
     LPTMR_PRESCALE = 0;
     LPTMR_CTRL |= LPTMR_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk;

     // Install the interrupt handler
     NVIC_SetVector(LPTMR_IRQn, (uint32_t)lp_ticker_irq_handler);
     NVIC_EnableIRQ(LPTMR_IRQn);
 }
void lp_ticker_irq_handler ( void   )

The wrapper for ticker_irq_handler, to pass lp ticker's data.

Definition at line 60 of file mbed_lp_ticker_api.c.

uint32_t lp_ticker_read ( void   )

Read the current tick.

If no rollover has occurred, the seconds passed since lp_ticker_init() was called can be found by dividing the ticks returned by this function by the frequency returned by lp_ticker_get_info.

Returns:
The current timer's counter value in ticks

Pseudo Code:

 uint32_t lp_ticker_read()
 {
     uint16_t count;
     uint16_t last_count;

     // Loop until the same tick is read twice since this
     // is ripple counter on a different clock domain.
     count = LPTMR_COUNT;
     do {
         last_count = count;
         count = LPTMR_COUNT;
     } while (last_count != count);

     return count;
 }
void lp_ticker_set_interrupt ( timestamp_t  timestamp )

Set interrupt for specified timestamp.

Parameters:
timestampThe time in ticks to be set
Note:
no special handling needs to be done for times in the past as the common timer code will detect this and call lp_ticker_fire_interrupt() if this is the case
calling this function with timestamp of more than the supported number of bits returned by lp_ticker_get_info results in undefined behavior.

Pseudo Code:

 void lp_ticker_set_interrupt(timestamp_t timestamp)
 {
     LPTMR_COMPARE = timestamp;
     LPTMR_CTRL |= LPTMR_CTRL_COMPARE_ENABLE_Msk;
 }
ticker_irq_handler_type set_lp_ticker_irq_handler ( ticker_irq_handler_type  ticker_irq_handler )

Set low power ticker IRQ handler.

Parameters:
ticker_irq_handlerIRQ handler to be connected
Returns:
previous ticker IRQ handler
Note:
by default IRQ handler is set to ticker_irq_handler
this function is primarily for testing purposes and it's not required part of HAL implementation
