How to stop a statically configured timer

murad qahwash

Hi all,

I used XGCONF to statically configure a timer. How can I stop it from my main or other functions?...what header files do I need to include, etc...

Timer_stop(handle);....what is the handle when timer is defined in the configuration script?

Regards,

Murad

HI,

In SYS BIOS user guide (http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruex3), section 7.3.1 pg 168 there's an example that I think it's what you need. It creates and configures a timer in .cfg and then uses it in .c. Basically you need to to something like:

Program.global.myTimer = Timer.create(1, "&myIsr", timerParams);

in the .cfg file and #include <xdc/cfg/global.h> in the .c file. The Progra.global in cfg and the global.h in .c makes some things created in .cfg accessible from .c file.

Hope it helps.

Best regards
