Timer0 initialisation - arav...@gmail.com - May 21 11:45:44 2008



Sir,
    i have to use TIMER0 module for a code.But i dont know how to initialise the Timer
module.While going through the CSL library functions i came across a parameter
"TIMER_Handle hTimer", What is the significance of this parameter?.Pls mail me a
sample code to initialise the TIMER0 and the significance of TIMER_Handle hTimer
parameter.............

Look for function TIMER_Open() in CSL doc -- all info you need is there.  Also you
can search TI's site for TIMER_Open, when I did this I found half-dozen source code
examples.

Also, is there a specific reason why you need to use TIMER0?  I might suggest that
you use TIMER1, as TIMER0 is the default for DSP/BIOS operation.  Even if you're not
using DSP/BIOS now, you should avoid TIMER0 in order to maintain greater
compatibility with TI software and future enhancements to your code.
