Detailed Description

This encapsulates functionality related to the Classic API Timer Manager. This manager provides functionality which allows the application to schedule the execution of methods at a specified time in the future. These methods may be scheduled based upon interval or wall time and may be executed in either the clock tick ISR or in a special dedicated timer server task.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RTEMS_TIMER_SERVER_DEFAULT_PRIORITY

#define RTEMS_TIMER_SERVER_DEFAULT_PRIORITY   (uint32_t) -1

This is the default value for the priority of the Timer Server. When given this priority, a special high priority not accessible via the Classic API is used.

Typedef Documentation

◆ rtems_timer_service_routine

The following types define a pointer to a timer service routine.

◆ rtems_timer_service_routine_entry

typedef rtems_timer_service_routine( * rtems_timer_service_routine_entry) (rtems_id, void *)

This type defines the type used to manage and indirectly invoke Timer Service Routines (TSRs). This defines the prototype and interface for a function which is to be used as a TSR.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ Timer_Classes

The following enumerated type details the classes to which a timer may belong.

Enumerator
TIMER_DORMANT 

This value indicates the timer is currently not in use.

TIMER_INTERVAL 

This value indicates the timer is currently in use as an interval timer which will fire in the clock tick ISR.

TIMER_INTERVAL_ON_TASK 

This value indicates the timer is currently in use as an interval timer which will fire in the timer server task.

TIMER_TIME_OF_DAY 

This value indicates the timer is currently in use as an time of day timer which will fire in the clock tick ISR.

TIMER_TIME_OF_DAY_ON_TASK 

This value indicates the timer is currently in use as an time of day timer which will fire in the timer server task.

Function Documentation

◆ rtems_timer_cancel()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_cancel ( rtems_id  id)

rtems_timer_cancel

This routine implements the rtems_timer_cancel directive. It is used to stop the timer associated with ID from firing.

◆ rtems_timer_create()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_create ( rtems_name  name,
rtems_id id 
)

RTEMS Create Timer.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_create directive. The timer will have the name name. It returns the id of the created timer in ID.

Parameters
[in]nameis the timer name
[out]idis the pointer to timer id
Return values
RTEMS_SUCCESSFULif successful or error code if unsuccessful

◆ rtems_timer_delete()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_delete ( rtems_id  id)

RTEMS Delete Timer.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_delete directive. The timer indicated by ID is deleted.

Parameters
[in]idis the timer id
Return values
Thismethod returns RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL if there was not an error. Otherwise, a status code is returned indicating the source of the error.

◆ rtems_timer_fire_after()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_fire_after ( rtems_id  id,
rtems_interval  ticks,
rtems_timer_service_routine_entry  routine,
void *  user_data 
)

RTEMS Timer Fire After.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_fire_after directive. It initiates the timer associated with ID to fire in ticks clock ticks. When the timer fires, the routine will be invoked in the context of the rtems_clock_tick directive which is normally invoked as part of servicing a periodic interupt.

Parameters
[in]idis the timer id
[in]ticksis the interval until routine is fired
[in]routineis the routine to schedule
[in]user_datais the passed as argument to routine when it is fired
Return values
Thismethod returns RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL if there was not an error. Otherwise, a status code is returned indicating the source of the error.

◆ rtems_timer_fire_when()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_fire_when ( rtems_id  id,
rtems_time_of_day wall_time,
rtems_timer_service_routine_entry  routine,
void *  user_data 
)

RTEMS Timer Fire When.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_fire_when directive. It initiates the timer associated with ID to fire at wall_time When the timer fires, the routine will be invoked in the context of the rtems_clock_tick directive which is normally invoked as part of servicing a periodic interupt.

Parameters
[in]idis the timer id
[in]wall_timeis the time of day to fire timer
[in]routineis the routine to schedule
[in]user_datais the passed as argument to routine when it is fired
Return values
Thismethod returns RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL if there was not an error. Otherwise, a status code is returned indicating the source of the error.

◆ rtems_timer_get_information()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_get_information ( rtems_id  id,
rtems_timer_information the_info 
)

RTEMS Get Timer Information.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_get_information directive. This directive returns information about the timer.

Parameters
[in]idis the timer id
[in]the_infois the pointer to timer information block
Return values
RTEMS_SUCCESSFULif successful or error code if unsuccessful and *the_info region information block filled in

◆ rtems_timer_ident()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_ident ( rtems_name  name,
rtems_id id 
)

RTEMS Timer Name to Id.

This routine implements the rtems_timer_ident directive. This directive returns the timer ID associated with name. If more than one timer is named name, then the timer to which the ID belongs is arbitrary.

Parameters
[in]nameis the user defined message queue name
[in]idis the pointer to timer id
Return values
RTEMS_SUCCESSFULif successful or error code if unsuccessful and id filled with the message queue id

◆ rtems_timer_initiate_server()

rtems_status_code rtems_timer_initiate_server ( rtems_task_priority  priority,
size_t  stack_size,
