Changing BIOS system tick timer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5328, SYSBIOS

I am currently using an MSP430F5328 with TI's RTOS/SYSBIOS. I make use of Timer A0 for PWM signal, however SYSBIOS makes use of this timer for system ticks. Is there a way to change the source of the BIOS system ticks? If so how?

Thank you.

Hi Ivan,
I have moved this to the TI-RTOS forum.

Try adding this In your config file:

var Clock = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.knl.Clock');
Clock.timerId = 1;

Hello Allan,

Thank you for the suggestion, that seemed to work. In case I run into any other conflicts, can you point me in the direction of some documentation for the SYSBIOS clock?

Thanks again,

Ivan

The user's guide and the CDOCs that are referenced in the release notes of your SYS/BIOS installation should provide you more information about the Clock module.
