Program Control

The document discusses embedded system programming concepts including the system timer, software timers, a super loop structure, and task scheduling. The system timer is a 24-bit hardware timer that generates interrupts to increment a ticks variable. Software timers use the system clock interrupts to increase or decrease a count variable. Preemptive scheduling allows tasks to run until completion or yield, with the system controlling task switches.

The “ticks” variable
System Timer (Systick):
 hardware timer built into ARM Cortex-M4
 one of the Cortex M4 peripherials
 timer is a 24-bit count-down timer
 generates an update count once per system interval
 system interval can be modified
The “ticks” variable
The “ticks” variable
Software timers
Software Timer- based on the system clock interrupts
 When Executed (on an interrupt):
◦ Increases or decreases a count-variable
Super loop
Example 1:

Example 2:
RTCS
Run To Complete Scheduler:
 Tasks executed in the order they entered the queue and where these tasks
are run until completion
 Task runs until it either finishes, or explicitly yields control back to the
scheduler
Preemptive Scheduling
Task switch controlled by the system.
