w7 SysTick Examples

The document discusses various applications of the SysTick timer in embedded systems, including generating delays, periodic interrupts, timekeeping, and energy-efficient sleep modes. It provides code examples for using SysTick to generate delays in milliseconds, configure periodic interrupts, measure execution time, and enter low-power sleep modes based on the SysTick interval. The presentation aims to explain how SysTick can be used for tasks like timing, interrupts, and power management.

Agenda
• System Timer – SysTick Aplications

15 December 2023 Mehmet Bozdal | Embedded Systems 2


Delay Generation
• One common use of SysTick is to generate precise delays in
embedded systems. This is useful in scenarios where you need to
introduce delays between different parts of your code.

Delay Generation
void delay_ms(uint32_t milliseconds) {
// Set the reload value for SysTick
SysTick->LOAD = SystemCoreClock / 1000 - 1;

// Clear the current value and enable SysTick


SysTick->VAL = 0;
SysTick->CTRL |= SysTick_CTRL_ENABLE;

// Wait until the count flag is set


while (milliseconds > 0) {
if (SysTick->CTRL & SysTick_CTRL_COUNTFLAG) {
milliseconds--;
}
}

// Disable SysTick
SysTick->CTRL &= ~SysTick_CTRL_ENABLE;
}

Periodic Interrupt
• SysTick can be configured to generate periodic interrupts, providing a
time reference for periodic tasks in your system.

Periodic Interrupt
#include <stdint.h>
volatile uint32_t milliseconds = 0;
void SysTick_Handler(void) {
// Increment the milliseconds counter
milliseconds++;
}
int main(void) {
// Set the reload value for SysTick
SysTick->LOAD = SystemCoreClock / 1000 - 1;
// Set SysTick interrupt priority
NVIC_SetPriority(SysTick_IRQn, 0);
// Enable SysTick interrupt and enable SysTick
SysTick->CTRL |= SysTick_CTRL_TICKINT | SysTick_CTRL_ENABLE;
// Main loop
while (1) {
// Your main code goes here
}
}

Timekeeping
• SysTick can be used for timekeeping in an embedded system. You can
keep track of elapsed time or measure the execution time of specific
code segments.

15 December 2023 Mehmet Bozdal | Embedded Systems 7


Timekeeping
volatile uint32_t execution_time = 0;
volatile uint32_t start_time = 0;
volatile uint32_t counter = 0;
void SysTick_Handler(void) {
counter++;
}
int main(void) {
// Initialize SysTick for microsecond-based timekeeping
SysTick_Init();

while (1) {
// Start measuring the execution time of a specific code segment
start_time = counter;
// The code segment you want to measure
// ...
// Stop measuring the execution time
execution_time = counter - start_time;
}
}

Timekeeping
volatile uint32_t execution_time = 0;
volatile uint32_t start_time = 0;
volatile uint32_t counter = 0;
void SysTick_Handler(void) {
counter++;
}
int main(void) {
// Initialize SysTick for microsecond-based timekeeping
SysTick_Init();

while (1) {
// Start measuring the execution time of a specific code segment
start_time = counter;
// The code segment you want to measure
// ...
// Stop measuring the execution time
execution_time = counter - start_time;
}
}

Energy-Efficient Sleep Mode
void SysTick_Handler(void) {
// Perform actions needed before entering sleep mode
}
int main(void) {
// Set the reload value for SysTick (adjust for desired sleep interval)
SysTick->LOAD = SystemCoreClock / 2 - 1;
// Set SysTick interrupt priority
NVIC_SetPriority(SysTick_IRQn, 0);
// Enable SysTick interrupt and enable SysTick
SysTick->CTRL |= SysTick_CTRL_TICKINT_Msk | SysTick_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk;
// Main loop
while (1) {
// Your main code goes here
// Example: Enter sleep mode when idle
__WFI();
}
}
