Hi,
I solved a part of this problem myself.
I measured the clock speed and it came out to be 7372800, so I'm assuming
92160Hz is correct. And I confirmed that 1024 ms is equivalent to 1sec.
I havn't figure out how to get 64 bit LocalTime yet.
I made an interface my self thats similar to LocalTime, just returns in
uint64_t form instead. I copied and modified LocalTimeMicroC.
I changed TransformCounterC part to
components new TransformCounterC(TMicro, uint64_t, TMicro, uint16_t, 0,
uint64_t);
I can compile with this source, but the return value of get() always becomes 0.
Any suggestions?
Best,
John
Hi,
thank you for your reply.
I got 3 questions.
1. Isn't 7.37MHz / 8 = 921250Hz, not 921600Hz. Which one is correct??
2. I did "call Timer.startPeriodic(1024);" because according to TEP102, it
says that 1024 milli sec equals to 1 sec. Am I doing right if I want clock to
fire every 1 sec using Atmega1281?
3. If my calculation is correct, microsec overflows pretty quickly (about
40min?). Is there any way that I can make it work longer?
Best,
John
John:
On the iris platform, as it is configured by default, LocalTimeMicroC
provides a 921600Hz clock. What you're seeing is correct.
This is because the MCU clock source is a baud friendly 7.37MHz
crystal, and the prescaler of Timer1 is set to 8. It is possible to
have a 1MHz clock, however, you will need to use the internal
oscillator as the MCU clock source instead. See TEP 102 Appendix C
(mica family) and the ATMega1281 datasheet for details.
