Using The Library

The RTT peripheral generates a periodic interrupt and/or triggers an alarm on a programmed value.

• Periodic interrupt is generated when the prescaler roll over generates the clock to increment real-time timer counter

• Alarm interrupt is generated when the time value matches the programmed alarm value The RTT continues to run in the device's low-power sleep modes, and it can be used as a source to wake up the system using the alarm function.

Periodic Interrupt

This example below demonstrates how to use RTT for periodic interrupt generation.

void Timeout_Handler (RTT_INTERRUPT_TYPE type, uintptr_t context)
{
    if(type == RTT_PERIODIC)
    {
        LED_Toggle();
    }
}

int main ( void )
{

    /* Register Callback */
    RTT0_CallbackRegister(Timeout_Handler, (uintptr_t) NULL);

    /* Enable RTT */
    RTT0_Enable();


    while ( true )
    {

    }

}

The below example demonstrates how to set alarm and watch it being triggered when the timer reaches the corresponding value.

void Timeout_Handler (RTT_INTERRUPT_TYPE type, uintptr_t context)
{
    if(type == RTT_ALARM)
    {
        // Alarm has occurred
    }
}

int main ( void )
{

    /* Register Callback */
    RTT0_CallbackRegister(Timeout_Handler, (uintptr_t) NULL);

    /* Set Alarm Value */
    RTT_AlarmValueSet(10);

    /* Enable RTT */
    RTT0_Enable();

    while ( true )
    {

    }

}
