AW: @ TCOUNT

Started by Christoph Ripcke October 4, 2001
Hi Dave !

Even I've never used them you could also use the CYCLE_COUNT_START /
CYCLE_COUNT_STOP macros from 21060.h. They are using an undocumented
internal register called emuclk. It's like a counter running on the core
clock. You just have to pass a storage variable to the macros.

regards
Christoph

Betreff: RE: [adsp] @ TCOUNT
hi Jeff

Thanks for replaying
actually i want to read the time differance between two successive
interrupt caused by external hardware. So i am intefacing hardware signal
to one of interrupt
now on first interrupt i start my timer and i stop it on next interrupt

I am working in C .

As per my knowledge there are two way of accessing TCOUNT

One is to write assembly subroutine in which i can store TCOUNT value to
some global variable and recall that variable in my C code. I dont want to
do this.

second is i can use pointers and directly read content of that address.
But for doing this i need memory address of TCOUNT Can you help me regarding this
Pl. correct me if i wrong harshad
