Is there any specific hardware dependency for using "tickmode_dynamic" feature of timer in C64p compared to MSP430?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3725

Hi,

We are using C64x+ DM3725.

When i set tick source as "TickSource_Timer " and tick mode as "TickMode_Dynamic" why CCS tool gives me following error message :

"Clock tick suppression (TickMode_DYNAMIC) not supported on this device"

Even as we know its supported for MSP430.

Please let us know because of what hardware/software limitation its not supported on this device.

We want to implement tick suppression in our application.

If its not supported, what would be the best alternate way to implement tick suppression for our application ?

Hsg,

TickMod_Dynamic needs to be supported by the Timer that the Clock module uses. I'm not sure if that was implemented for the DM3725. What version of SYS/BIOS are you using? I'll see if there's some other possibilities.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the response.

We are using "SYS/BIOS v6.34".

Hsg,

This dynamic tick mode was added mainly for low power devices such as MSP430 and the DM3725 didn't fall in that category. The timers on the DM3725 do not support this feature and there are no plans to add this feature this time.
