Annex get_tick_quarter_ms Function Pointer¶
This function pointer is part of the swc_hal_t structure. It contains Wireless Core function pointers required to interact with microcontroller peripherals.
uint64_t (*get_tick_quarter_ms)(void); /*!< Get tick quarter ms function pointer */
get_tick_quarter_ms¶
This function returns a free running timer’s tick count. The optional Stop and Wait feature can use the timer tick count as a watchdog timer, telling the Wireless Core when it is time to move on and abort packet re-transmission efforts.
In the SDK, this is implemented by this EVK1.4 BSP function:
-
uint64_t evk_timer_get_free_running_tick_ms(void)¶
Free running timer with a tick of 1 ms.
- Returns
Tick count.
Tip
If the user does not intend to use the Wireless Core Stop and Wait feature, it is required to create this function:
uint64_t no_tick_quarter_ms(void)
{
return 0;
}
and pass it to the get_tick_quarter_ms function pointer.
