& also is there any way to generate delay other than using timers?

if so how?

There are several methods of delaying code execution. The simplest and most common way is to loop through "no operation" code until predefined number of cycles had passed.

Usually when you use timer for delays you go into sleep mode and wake device with timer interrupt. I am not sure if and how sleep modes are managed in C6713 therefore I would use loop-delay method.

Some learning materials. As simple as can be: http://e2e.ti.com/group/universityprogram/educators/w/wiki/2041.c6000-teaching-rom.aspx

Leela,

For a "total" explanation of the use and functions of the timer, please see the Timer Reference Guide.

For a helpful environment, go to the TI Wiki Pages and search for "c6713 training" (no quotes). One of the items mentions the DSK 6713 and includes training student guide and labs.

The CSL for the C6713 includes sample programs that use the timers. Reading through these will show you how to construct a program using CSL.
