Why getting a timeout is Zero error from the clock module?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

I added the Clock module into my code and created a new Clock0 instance from the GUI. I am getting the error message below: What is the timeout = zero referring to?

Description Resource Path Location Type
ti.sysbios.knl.Clock.Instance#0 timeout: The timeout parameter must not be zero. .xdchelp /ESU_Firmware_UART line 215 C/C++ Problem

  • Hi Jonathan,

    The timeout value is a feature that would allow you to set the expiration time which would determine when the Clock function should first start running. This value by design has to be a non zero value. You can refer to the TI-RTOS Kernel User Guide, Section 5.2  and the API documentation for more information about the Clock Module.
