  • embOS: how an external timer works rightly with the OS kernel.

    Hello eb.
    I do not understand how to bind my esternal timer to the embOS 3.32d kernel.
    In deepth, I saw that it needs to get embedded with the timer configuration and the interrupt binding of the timer source to the OS_irq_handler.
    Is it enought ? May I need something else?

    Besta Regards.
    Angelo

  • Hello Angelo,

    I am not so familiar with embOS for ARM cores but I know that
    embOS needs a 1 msec timer interrupt as a base timer. Take a look in your
    Rtosinit.c, there you should find the timer interrupt routine, which calls
    something like OS_HandleTick().
