Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C123GH6PM

Hi,

I am using TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller and ccs6.

1) Is "void TimerLoadSet (unsigned long ulBase, unsigned long ulTimer, unsigned long ulValue);" used to set the initial value of timer?

2) To reset the timer after 1sec, what API need to be used?

Have you read the timer sections in both the TivaWare DriverLib User's guide and your device's datasheet?

Hi Veikko,
Thank you for your reply. Yes I did. In that the function described as "This function sets the timer load value; if the timer is running then the value will be immediately
loaded into the timer". I can't understand the exact meaning of that. That's why I post a question to clarify my doubt.

I'm sorry but I don't think you've read the timer section in the datasheet if you have trouble understanding that.

Hi Veikko,
Thank you. I found the answer: "When the timer is counting down, this is used to load the starting count value into the timer.
When the timer is counting up, this sets the upper bound for the timeout event". Till that it's my big fault that I didn't notice the up and down counter modes.

Hey M.MARY Babitha

i observed that when should i reload the Count, Bcoz when i call the API TimerLoadSet it sets automatically so it disturbes by timer count and in datsheet they mentions that the count is being load on next cycle.

i m quite ambiguous that whats should i do to just enter the count not to load immediately.
