Detailed Description

RTOS timer management functions These timers are based on the RTOS time-slice scheduling, so are not highly accurate.

They are also affected by high loading on the processor.

Function Documentation

wiced_rtos_timer_t* wiced_rtos_create_timer ( void )

Creates a new instance of timer.

Creates a new timer (Allocates memory for a new timer instance and returns the pointer)

wiced_result_t wiced_rtos_init_timer	(	wiced_rtos_timer_t *	timer,
		uint32_t	time_ms,
		timer_handler_t	function,
		void *	arg
	)

Initialises a RTOS timer.

Initialises a RTOS timer Timer does not start running until wiced_rtos_start_timer is called

Parameters

timer	: a pointer to the timer handle to be initialised
time_ms	: timeout value in milliseconds
function	: the callback handler function that is called each time the timer expires
arg	: an argument that will be passed to the callback function

wiced_result_t wiced_rtos_is_timer_running ( wiced_rtos_timer_t * timer )

Check if an RTOS timer is running.

Parameters

timer : a pointer to the RTOS timer handle

wiced_result_t wiced_rtos_start_timer ( wiced_rtos_timer_t * timer )

Starts a RTOS timer running.

Starts a RTOS timer running. Timer must have been previously initialised with wiced_rtos_init_timer

Parameters

timer : a pointer to the timer handle to start

wiced_result_t wiced_rtos_stop_timer ( wiced_rtos_timer_t * timer )

Stops a running RTOS timer.

Stops a running RTOS timer. Timer must have been previously started with wiced_rtos_start_timer

Parameters

timer : a pointer to the timer handle to stop
