iMXRT1170 QTimer initialization for 1ms interrupt.

Naveed — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 13:52:13 GMT

Hi,

I am using iMXRT1170 EVK board and tried executing the QTimer in interrupt mode for every 1msec.

When I checked the output on DSO by configuring the GPIO output in the interrupt handler function. I got the output as attached here.

I am not able to go below 8.35msec for,

QTMR_SetTimerPeriod(BOARD_QTMR_BASEADDR, BOARD_SECOND_QTMR_CHANNEL,MSEC_TO_COUNT(1U, QTMR_SOURCE_CLOCK) );

and maximum I got 70msec for,

QTMR_SetTimerPeriod(BOARD_QTMR_BASEADDR, BOARD_SECOND_QTMR_CHANNEL,65000 );

Can you let me know why it is showing like this? In example code it says we can configure it for 1msec but I am not getting it.

Please let me know, did I missed any configuration here? How to resolve this for interrupt for every 1msec.

Code and DSO output is attached.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be supporting your case, let me review your information, only for being sure could you tell me the example are you based on?

Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

I want to configure the QTimer for 1ms interrupt. and I am using the example code of qtimer for imxRT1170 EVK board: SDK_2_12_1_MIMXRT1170\boards\evkmimxrt1170\driver_examples\qtmr\timer\cm7.

I have attached the same code before with the DSO image.

I have measured the time by toggling the GPIO in interrupt handler, It is not able go below 8.35msec but I have configure it for 1msec which I am not getting. Let me know how to get it for 1msec interrupt in qtimer.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Let me test the example and when I have more details, I will contact you.

Best regards,

Hello,

I made some tests and have some issues, so I review the code and I find this macro [ USEC_TO_COUNT] could you make a test with that? I will make the test too, and share my result, I get 4ms in the last test.

QTMR_SetTimerPeriod(BOARD_QTMR_BASEADDR, BOARD_SECOND_QTMR_CHANNEL, USEC_TO_COUNT(1000U, QTMR_SOURCE_CLOCK));

Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

I have tried with this at my end,

QTMR_SetTimerPeriod(BOARD_QTMR_BASEADDR, BOARD_SECOND_QTMR_CHANNEL, USEC_TO_COUNT(1000U, QTMR_SOURCE_CLOCK));

I am still getting complete cycle as Ttotal=8.4msec Ton=4.2msec and Toff= 4.2msec. I have attached the image for your reference.

Let me know did you get the same, how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Sorry for the late response, please comment on the PRINTF lines, it takes more time to print.

Best regards,

Hi Pavel,

It is working, I have commented the PRINTF and checked.

Thanks
