In TI RTOS framework- Which timer is better to use Hardware timer(specific to TM4Cxx) or TI-RTOS provided API(TImer_create etc...)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C129XNCZAD

Hello I am using TM4c129xnczad Microcontroller. WOrking on ADC driver.

As TI-RTOS framework doesn't have any ADC example . SO i am referring tivaware library  to configure ADC. 

Basically i need to periodically monitor couple of voltages which is connected to ADC.

To do this i require timer to take ADC samples at an specified interval.

As i am using TI-RTOS(SYS/BIOS ) framework, can I use Hardware timer provided by TM4c129xnczad Microcontroller (i.e. TIMER 0, TIMER 1 or TIMER 2).

Or i should use RTOS driven timer API (TImer_create, timer_start etc....)...etc..

If i use RTOS driven timer API are they pointing to Hardware timer of TM4c129xnczad Microcontroller  internally?

 

Fast response is highly appreciable...........

Thanks

    Hello Sanyam,

    The RTOS driven timers may chose to us both software timers and hardware timers. I believe it is the latter. To be sure it would be better to ask the TI-RTOS forum. I believe I have seen an ADC example in the resource explorer.
