Detailed Description

Timer for Blackfin.

This file manages the benchmark timer used by the RTEMS Timing Test Suite. Each measured time period is demarcated by calls to benchmark_timer_initialize() and benchmark_timer_read(). benchmark_timer_read() usually returns the number of microseconds since benchmark_timer_initialize() exitted.

Function Documentation

benchmark_timer_disable_subtracting_average_overhead()

void benchmark_timer_disable_subtracting_average_overhead

(

bool

find_flag

)

Disable Average Overhead Removal from the Benchmark Timer.

This method places the benchmark timer in a "raw" mode where it returns the actual number of units which have passed between calls to benchmark_timer_initialize and benchmark_timer_read counting.

Parameters

[in]

find_flag

indicates to enable or disable the mode

benchmark_timer_initialize()

void benchmark_timer_initialize

(

void

)

Initialize the Benchmark Timer.

This method initializes the benchmark timer and resets it to begin counting.

benchmark_timer_read()

benchmark_timer_t benchmark_timer_read

(

void

)

Read the Benchmark Timer.

This method stops the benchmark timer and returns the number of units that have passed since benchmark_timer_initialize was invoked.

Returns

This method returns the number of units with the average overhead removed. If the value is below the minimum trusted value, zero is returned.
