What happens to TIMER pins when using SYS/BIOS Timer Module?

Hi Johannes,

I'm assuming you are using a C6678 because I can't find any documentation on a C6679.

SYS/BIOS's timer64 (ti.sysbios.timers.timer64.Timer) module has some parameters to specify some data direction and mode. See the Timer_GpioDatDir data structure (as part of the Timer_Params struct) in the SYS/BIOS API Documentation. If you don't want to use the Timer input/outputs you can use them as GPIOs.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer and for pointing my typo. I read the doc you mentioned, I have one question about. Here's the code

typedef struct Timer_GpioDatDir{

    Bits8 gpio_dati12;

    // 0=TINP12 is input; 1=TINP12 is output

    Bits8 gpio_dato12;

    // 0=TOUTP12 is input; 1=TOUTP12 is output

    Bits8 gpio_dati34;

    // 0=TINP34 is input; 1=TINP34 is output

    Bits8 gpio_dato34;

    // 0=TOUTP34 is input; 1=TOUTP34 is output

    Bits8 gpio_diri12;

    // 0=input as GPIO input; 1=input as GPIO output

    Bits8 gpio_diro12;

    // 0=output as GPIO input;1=output as GPIO output

    Bits8 gpio_diri34;

    // 0=input as GPIO input; 1=input as GPIO output

    Bits8 gpio_diro34;

    // 0=output as GPIO input;1=output as GPIO output

} Timer_GpioDatDir;

It's about the meaning of the last four definitions, for instance,

    Bits8 gpio_diri12;
         // 0=input as GPIO input; 1=input as GPIO output

What does it mean?

And one more question, by default are the input and output pins used? If I don't connect any signal to input pins or any load to the output pins, will it be a problem?

Thanks and regards.

Hi Johannes,

sorry for the late reply. I honestly am having a difficult time in finding the correct documentation on these output pins. I will need to loop in someone from the C6000 team.

OK Tom, I'll keep waiting. Thanks ofr your attention.

Regards
