I want to calculate time interval with timers. I'm using arduino ide. Also i can not decide which library to useful.
I just tried something following code.
I'm using this library
#include <ESP32Time.h>
int a;
int b;
int ldrValue;
#define LDR 0
/* create a hardware timer */
hw_timer_t * timer = NULL;
int timeThatPast;
/* motor pin */
int motor = 14;
/* motor state */
volatile byte state = LOW;
void IRAM_ATTR onTimer(){
state = !state;
digitalWrite(motor, state);
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(motor, OUTPUT);
/* Use 1st timer of 4 */
/* 1 tick take 1/(80MHZ/80) = 1us so we set divider 80 and count up */
timer = timerBegin(0, 80, false);
/* Attach onTimer function to our timer */
timerAttachInterrupt(timer, &onTimer, true);
//********************ALARM*******************
/* Set alarm to call onTimer function every second 1 tick is 1us
=> 1 second is 1000000us */
/* Repeat the alarm (third parameter) */
timerAlarmWrite(timer, 7000000, false);
//********************************************
/* Start an alarm */
timerAlarmEnable(timer);
Serial.println("start timer");
}
void loop() {
int ldrValue = analogRead(LDR);
ldrValue = map(ldrValue, 0, 4095, 0, 10000);
if(ldrValue > 8500){
a = timerRead(timer);
digitalWrite(motor,HIGH);
while(1){
int ldrValue = analogRead(LDR);
ldrValue = map(ldrValue, 0, 4095, 0, 10000);
if(ldrValue < 8500){
b = timerRead(timer);
digitalWrite(motor,LOW);
Serial.print("Entering Loop");
Serial.println(a);
Serial.println("**********");
Serial.println("**********");
Serial.print("Exiting loop");
Serial.println(b);
int difference = b - a;
Serial.println("Difference");
Serial.println(difference);
break;
}
}
}
}
Use millis or micros if you need more precise timing.
Here is an example sketch:
long lastDoTime = 0;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Hello! We will do something at every ms");
}
void doThisAtEvery(int ms){
if( millis() - lastDoTime >= ms ){
// Must save the lastDoTime
lastDoTime = millis();
// Do some stuff at every ms
}
}
void loop(){
// It will do the thing in every 100 ms.
doThisAtEvery(100);
}
If you want to toggle a pin let's say every 100 microsec
long lastToggleTime = 0;
int motorPin = 14;
boolean lastPinState = LOW;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void togglePinEvery(int micros){
if( micros() - lastToggleTime >= micros ){
lastToggleTime = micros();
digitalWrite(motorPin,!lastPinState);
lastPinState = !lastPinState;
}
}
void loop(){
togglePinEvery(100);
}
EDIT Since you wanted timers only.
Here is a detailed explanation about timers: https://techtutorialsx.com/2017/10/07/esp32-arduino-timer-interrupts/
Code example:
volatile int interruptCounter;
int totalInterruptCounter;
hw_timer_t * timer = NULL;
portMUX_TYPE timerMux = portMUX_INITIALIZER_UNLOCKED;
void IRAM_ATTR onTimer() {
portENTER_CRITICAL_ISR(&timerMux);
interruptCounter++;
portEXIT_CRITICAL_ISR(&timerMux);
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
timer = timerBegin(0, 80, true);
timerAttachInterrupt(timer, &onTimer, true);
timerAlarmWrite(timer, 1000000, true);
timerAlarmEnable(timer);
}
void loop() {
if (interruptCounter > 0) {
portENTER_CRITICAL(&timerMux);
interruptCounter--;
portEXIT_CRITICAL(&timerMux);
totalInterruptCounter++;
Serial.print("An interrupt as occurred. Total number: ");
Serial.println(totalInterruptCounter);
}
}
I followed by vulkan tutorial, and i get segfault on vkCreateInstance.
I use arch (btw), and i install vulkan by paru -S vulkan-devel (also linux-firmware and mesa are installed). My CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 2700, and GPU is Radeon RX 580 4GB.
I saw a similar question, but the answer did not solve my problem (and besides, they use C++, not C)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <vulkan/vulkan.h>
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
const char* APPLICATION_NAME = "Vulkan Teach";
const uint16_t WIDTH = 800;
const uint16_t HEIGHT = 600;
static GLFWwindow* window;
static VkInstance instance;
void error(char* message, int code) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s (status code: %d)\n", message, code);
exit(code);
}
void initWindow() {
glfwInit();
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CLIENT_API, GLFW_NO_API);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESIZABLE, GLFW_FALSE);
window = glfwCreateWindow(WIDTH, HEIGHT, APPLICATION_NAME, NULL, NULL);
}
void mainLoop() {
while(!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
glfwPollEvents();
}
}
void createInsance() {
VkApplicationInfo appInfo;
appInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_APPLICATION_INFO;
appInfo.pApplicationName = APPLICATION_NAME;
appInfo.applicationVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);
appInfo.pEngineName = "No Engine";
appInfo.engineVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);
appInfo.apiVersion = VK_API_VERSION_1_0;
VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo;
createInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO;
createInfo.pApplicationInfo = &appInfo;
uint32_t glfwExtensionsCount = 0;
const char** glfwExtensions;
glfwExtensions = glfwGetRequiredInstanceExtensions(&glfwExtensionsCount);
createInfo.enabledExtensionCount = glfwExtensionsCount;
createInfo.ppEnabledExtensionNames = glfwExtensions;
createInfo.enabledLayerCount = 0;
VkResult result = vkCreateInstance(&createInfo, NULL, &instance);
if(result != VK_SUCCESS) {
error("Failed to create vulkan instance.", result);
}
}
void initVulkan() {
createInsance();
}
void cleanup() {
vkDestroyInstance(instance, NULL);
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
glfwTerminate();
}
int main() {
initWindow();
initVulkan();
mainLoop();
cleanup();
return 0;
}
You are most probably passing uninitialized values to your instance creation. This part of the code:
VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo;
createInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO;
createInfo.pApplicationInfo = &appInfo;
Only initializes the sType and pApplicationInfo members of the create info, while other important members such as pNext are uninitialized and as such may contain values that the driver doesn't know how to handle, resulting in the segfault.
So as a general rule for all (Vulkan) structs: Zero initialize like this:
VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo = {0};
I am trying to make a program, that use a interruption for timer 0. The problem is I have to add a function with 2 variables.
Timer configuration will be performed by defining a function with the following prototype: void int_tmr0 (int conf_int, int conf_T0), which I did it in that form:
void conf(int p1, int p2)
{
T0CON=p1;
INTCON=p2;
}
I try to put the records: T0CON, INTCON in these 2 variables: p1 and p2.
I am not sure if I can call these 2 variables in the main function by:
void main()
{
WDTCONbits.ADSHR = 1;
MEMCONbits.EBDIS = 1;
TRISD = 0x0;
INTCONbits.GIE = 1;
p1=0b10001000;
INTCONbits.TMR0IE = 0;
}
Here is the whole code:
#include <xc.h>
unsigned char counter;
void interrupt f1()
{
if(INTCONbits.TMR0IE && INTCONbits.TMR0IF)
{
counter++;
INTCONbits.TMROIF=0
}
void conf(int p1, int p2)
{
T0CON=p1;
INTCON=p2;
}
void main()
{
WDTCONbits.ADSHR = 1;
MEMCONbits.EBDIS = 1;
TRISD = 0x0;
INTCONbits.GIE = 1;
p1=0b10001000;
INTCONbits.TMR0IE = 0;
}
while(1){
LATD= counter;
}
}
If I understood it right,
You need to have a function called by the Timer0 interrupt
Your SDK defines this function as void int_tmr0(int conf_int, int conf_T0)
You need your function to receive some other arbitrary parameters
A solution would be to create the function as the SDK requires and store the parameters in global variables. Then, you can call your function from inside the 'callback' function using these variables as parameters:
int volatile param_1 = 0, param_2 = 0;
void int_tmr0(int conf_int, int conf_T0)
{
conf(param_1, param_2);
}
void conf(int p1, int p2)
{
T0CON=p1;
INTCON=p2;
}
int main()
{
WDTCONbits.ADSHR = 1;
MEMCONbits.EBDIS = 1;
TRISD = 0x0;
INTCONbits.GIE = 1;
param_1=0b10001000;
INTCONbits.TMR0IE = 0;
while(1){
LATD= counter;
}
}
I try to use the DMAengine API from a custom kernel driver to perform a scatter-gather operation.

However, the DMA never calls my callback function and I do not have any idea why it happens. Maybe, I am misunderstanding something...
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Caveat: I don't have a definitive solution for you, but merely some observations and suggestions on how to debug this [based on many years of experience writing/debugging linux device drivers].
I presume you believe the callback is not being done because you don't get any printk messages. But, the callback is the only place that has them. But, is the printk level set high enough to see the messages? I'd add a dev_info to your module init, to prove it prints as expected.
Also, you [probably] won't get a callback if dma_start doesn't work as expected, so I'd add some dev_info calls there, too (e.g. before and after the call in step 7). I also notice that not all calls in dma_start check error returns [may be fine or void return, just mentioning in case you missed one]
At this point, it should be noted that there are really two questions here: (1) Did your DMA request start successfully [and complete]? (2) Did you get a callback?
So, I'd split off some code from dma_complete into (e.g.) dma_test_done. The latter does the same checking but only prints the "complete" message. You can call this in a poll mode to verify DMA completion.
So, if you [eventually] get a completion, then the problem reduces to why you didn't get the callback. If, however, you don't [even] get a completion, that's an even more fundamental problem.
This reminds me. You didn't show any code that calls dma_start or how you wait for the completion. I presume that if your callback were working, it would issue a wakeup of some sort that the base level would wait on. Or, the callback would do the request deallocate/cleanup (i.e. more code you'd write)
At step 7, you're calling dma_async_issue_pending, which should call pl330_issue_pending. pl330_issue_pending will call pl330_tasklet.
pl330_tasklet is a tasklet function, but it can also be called directly [to kick off DMA when there are no active requests].
pl330_tasklet will loop on its "work" queue and move any completed items to its "completed" queue. It then tries to start new requests. It then loops on its completed queue and issues the callbacks.
pl330_tasklet grabs the callback pointer, but if it's null it is silently ignored. You've set a callback, but it might be good to verify that where you set the callback is the same place [or propagates to] the place where pl330_tasklet will fetch it from.
When you make the call, everything may be busy, so there are no completed requests, no room to start a new request, so nothing to complete. In that case, pl330_tasklet will be called again later.
So, when dma_async_issue_pending returns, nothing may have happened yet. This is quite probable for your case.
pl330_tasklet tries to start new DMA by calling fill_queue. It will check that a descriptor is not [already] busy by looking at status != BUSY. So, you may wish to verify that yours has the correct value. Otherwise, you'd never get a callback [or even any DMA start].
Then, fill_queue will try to start the request via pl330_submit_req. But, that can return an error (e.g. queue already full), so, again, things are deferred.
For reference, notice the following comment at the top of pl330_submit_req:
Submit a list of xfers after which the client wants notification.
Client is not notified after each xfer unit, just once after all
xfer units are done or some error occurs.
What I'd do is start hacking up pl330.c and add debug messages and cross-checking. If your system is such that pl330 is servicing many other requests, you might limit the debug messages by checking that the device's private data pointer matches yours.
In particular, you'd like to get a message when your request actually gets started, so you could add a debug message to the end of pl330_submit_req
Then, adding messages within pl330_tasklet for requests will help, too.
Those are two good starting points. But, don't be afraid to add more printk calls as needed. You may be surprised by what gets called [or doesn't get called] or in what order.
UPDATE:
If I install the kernel module with the blocking behaviour, everything is initialized well. However, the dma_busy_loop function shows that the DMA descriptor is always IN PROGESS and the DMA transaction never completes. For this reason, the callback function is not executed. What could be happening?
Did a little more research. Cookies are just sequence numbers that increment. For example, if you issue a request that gets broken up into [say] 10 separate scatter/gather operations [descriptors], each one gets a unique cookie value. The cookie return value is the latest/last of the bunch (e.g. 10).
When you're calling (1) dma_async_is_tx_complete, (2) it calls chan->device->device_tx_status, (3) which is pl330_tx_status, (4) which calls dma_cookie_status
Side note/tip: When I was tracking this down, I just kept flipping back and forth between dmaengine.h and pl330.c. It was like: Look at (1), it calls (2). Where is that set? In pl330.c, I presume. So, I grepped for the string and got the name of pl330's function (i.e. (3)). So, I go there, and see that it does (4). So ... Back to dmaengine.h ...
However, when you make the outer call, you're ignoring [setting to NULL] the last two arguments. These can be useful because they return the "last" and "used" cookies. So, even if you don't get full completion, these values could change and show partial progress.
One of them should eventually be >= to the "return" cookie value. (i.e.) The entire operation should be complete. So, this will help differentiate what may be happening.
Also, note that in dmaengine.h, right below dma_async_is_tx_complete, there is dma_async_is_complete. This function is what decides whether to return DMA_COMPLETE or DMA_IN_PROGRESS, based on the cookie value you pass and the "last" and "used" cookie values. It's passive, and not used in the code path [AFAICT], but it does show how to calculate completion yourself.
I've a function I wrote in order to run a given function on all processors. It works perfectly well in all cases except the following case:
When I try to use it within a kprobe that I registered.
Here's some code:
static DEFINE_MUTEX(entryMutex);
static struct kretprobe my_kprobe = {
.entry_handler = (kprobe_opcode_t *) NULL,
.handler = (kprobe_opcode_t *) process_entry_callback,
.maxactive = 1000,
.data_size = 0
};
static int driver_init(void)
{
my_kprobe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t*)kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_execve");
if ((ret = register_kretprobe(&my_kprobe)) < 0)
return -1;
return 0;
}
void foo(void* nothing)
{
printk("In foo\n");
}
static int process_entry_callback(struct kretprobe_instance* instance, struct pt_regs* regs)
{
mutex_lock(&entryMutex);
for(int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) // assumes there are 4 processors
run_func(foo, NULL, i);
mutex_unlock(&entryMutex);
return 0;
}
void run_func_wrap(struct function_data* data)
{
data->func(data->context);
wake_up_process(data->waiting_task);
*(data->condition) = TRUE;
}
void run_func(SCHEDULED_FUNC func, void *context, int processor)
{
struct function_data data;
struct task_struct* th;
BOOLEAN condition = FALSE;
wait_queue_head_t queue;
init_waitqueue_head(&queue);
data.func = func;
data.waiting_task = current;
data.context = context;
data.condition = &condition;
th = kthread_create(sched_func_wrap, &data, "th");
kthread_bind(th, processor);
wake_up_process(th);
wait_event(queue, condition);
}
F
After the call to 'run_func' in process_entry_callback I can no longer run any programs. Every time I start a new program it just stuck. After a while I get 'processor lockup' warning in the system log.
I suspect that it has something to do with the IRQ levels.
Any suggestions ?
EDIT:
It also happens when using the following function:
smp_call_function_single
which can be found in smp.c # the Linux kernel source code.
instead of my function:
run_func
