Hi
I would know if there are functions to cycle counting on MCUXpresso SDK.
I have seen that ARM processors contains a special register called DWT for this purpose.
Can I use it on my fw release to time elapsed couting or is it meant for debugging only and isn't it a good practice?
Thank you very much!
Hi Fabio,
you can use it in the debugger (see Measuring ARM Cortex-M CPU Cycles Spent with the MCUXpresso Eclipse Registers View | MCU on Eclipse ) or in the application too (see Cycle Counting on ARM Cortex-M with DWT | MCU on Eclipse ).
For the later see McuOnEclipseLibrary/McuArmTools.c at master · ErichStyger/McuOnEclipseLibrary · GitHub which is an implementation using the MCUXpresso SDK.
I hope this helps,
Erich
