Questions about C6678 Timers in SYS/BIOS

Maciej Fajfer

I'm using TIMER64, not portable timer. My SYS/BIOS version is 6.33.6.50. I have a two question:

1. How can I get to timer handle created in graphical system manager (usually called XGCONF) in my code ? Is it possible ? For example I would like to create static configuration in cfg file and then use Timer_start(mytimer) with ONE_SHOT mode.

2. In XGCONF I found only 8 available timers, but C6678 has 16 timers (0-7 local and 8-15 shared). I don't understand it. What it means ?

I hope someone can help me.

First issue has been solved. I can use extern Timer_Handle mytimer as global variable. All properties of mytimer are the same like static XGCONF. My current problem is with Timer_start(mytimer) in other HWI thread. It trigger timer but only once time. I think ONE_SHOT mode it should be one shot per once call of the Timer_start().

Hi ,

Please refer the SYS BIOS user guide for the timer configuration, usage and example. Also, post SYS BIOS related queries in TI-RTOS Forum.
