定时器¶

[English]

简介¶

ESP32 芯片提供两组硬件定时器，每组包含两个通用硬件定时器。所有定时器均为 64 位通用定时器，包括 16 位预分频器和 64 位自动重载向上/向下计数器。

功能概述¶

下文介绍了配置和操作定时器的常规步骤：

定时器初始化 - 启动定时器前应设置的参数，以及每个设置提供的具体功能。
定时器控制 - 如何读取定时器的值，如何暂停/启动定时器以及如何改变定时器的操作方式。
警报 - 如何设置和使用警报。
中断- 如何使能和使用中断。

定时器初始化¶

两个 ESP32 定时器组中，每组都有两个定时器，两组共有四个定时器供使用。ESP32 定时器组应使用 timer_group_t 识别，而每组中的个体定时器则应使用 timer_idx_t 识别。

首先调用 timer_init() 函数，并将 timer_config_t 结构体传递给此函数，用于定义定时器的工作方式，实现定时器初始化。特别注意以下定时器参数可设置为：

分频器: 设置定时器中计数器计数的速度，divider 的设置将用作输入的 80 MHz APB_CLK 时钟的除数。

模式: 设置计数器是递增还是递减。可通过从 timer_count_dir_t 中选取一个值，后使用 counter_dir 来选择模式。

计数器使能: 如果计数器已使能，则在调用 timer_init() 后计数器将立即开始递增/递减。您可通过从 timer_start_t 中选取一个值，后使用 counter_en 改变此行为。

报警使能: 可使用 alarm_en 设置。

自动重载: 设置计数器是否应该在定时器警报上使用 auto_reload 自动重载首个计数值，还是继续递增或递减。

中断类型: 选择定时器警报上应触发的中断类型，请设置 timer_intr_mode_t 中定义的值。

要获取定时器设置的当前值，请使用函数 timer_get_config()。

定时器控制¶

定时器使能后便开始计数。要使能定时器，可首先设置 counter_en 为 true，然后调用函数 timer_init()，或者直接调用函数 timer_start()。您可通过调用函数 timer_set_counter_value() 来指定定时器的首个计数值。要检查定时器的当前值，调用函数 timer_get_counter_value() 或 timer_get_counter_time_sec()。

可通过调用函数 timer_pause() 随时暂停定时器。要再次启动它，调用函数 timer_start()。

要重新配置定时器，可调用函数 timer_init()，该函数详细介绍见定时器初始化。

除此之外，还可通过使用专有函数更改个别设置来重新配置定时器：

设置	专有函数	描述
分频器	`timer_set_divider()`	更改计数频率。为避免发生不可预测情况，更改分频器时应暂停定时器。如果定时器正在运行，则使用 `timer_set_divider()` 将其暂停并更改设置，然后重启定时器。
模式	`timer_set_counter_mode()`	设置计数器应递增还是递减
自动重载	`timer_set_auto_reload()`	设置是否应在定时器警报上重载首个计数值

警报¶

要设置警报，先调用函数 timer_set_alarm_value()，然后使用 timer_set_alarm() 使能警报。当调用函数 timer_init() 时，也可以在定时器初始化阶段使能警报。

警报已使能且定时器达到警报值后，根据配置，可能会出现以下两种行为：

如果先前已配置，此时将触发中断。有关如何配置中断，请参见中断。

如 auto_reload 已使能，定时器的计数器将重新加载，从先前配置好的值开始再次计数。应使用函数 timer_set_counter_value() 预先设置该值。

注解

如果已设置警报值且定时器已超过该值，则将立即触发警报。
一旦触发后，警报将自动关闭，需要重新使能以再次触发。

要检查某特定的警报值，调用函数 timer_get_alarm_value()。

中断¶

可通过调用函数 timer_isr_register() 为特定定时器组和定时器注册中断处理程序。

调用 timer_group_intr_enable() 使能定时器组的中断程序，调用 timer_enable_intr() 使能某定时器的中断程序。调用 timer_group_intr_disable() 关闭定时器组的中断程序，调用 timer_disable_intr() 关闭某定时器的中断程序。

在中断服务程序（ISR）中处理中断时，需要明确地清除中断状态位。为此，请设置定义在 soc/esp32/include/soc/timer_group_struct.h 中的 TIMERGN.int_clr_timers.tM 结构。该结构中 N 是定时器组别编号 [0, 1]，M 是定时器编号 [0, 1]。例如，要清除定时器组别 0 中定时器 1 的中断状态位，请调用以下命令:

TIMERG0.int_clr_timers.t1 = 1

有关如何使用中断，请参阅应用示例。

This ISR handler will be called from an ISR. This ISR handler do not need to handle interrupt status, and should be kept short. If you want to realize some specific applications or write the whole ISR, you can call timer_isr_register(…) to register ISR.

Parameters

group_num: Timer group number
timer_num: Timer index of timer group
isr_handler: Interrupt handler function, it is a callback function.
arg: Parameter for handler function
intr_alloc_flags: Flags used to allocate the interrupt. One or multiple (ORred) ESP_INTR_FLAG_* values. See esp_intr_alloc.h for more info.

If the intr_alloc_flags value ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM is set, the handler function must be declared with IRAM_ATTR attribute and can only call functions in IRAM or ROM. It cannot call other timer APIs.

Register Timer interrupt handler, the handler is an ISR. The handler will be attached to the same CPU core that this function is running on.

If the intr_alloc_flags value ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM is set, the handler function must be declared with IRAM_ATTR attribute and can only call functions in IRAM or ROM. It cannot call other timer APIs. Use direct register access to configure timers from inside the ISR in this case.

If you called FreeRTOS functions in callback, you need to return true or false based on the retrun value of argument pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken. For example, xQueueSendFromISR is called in callback, if the return value pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken of any FreeRTOS calls is pdTRUE, return true; otherwise return false.

typedef intr_handle_t timer_isr_handle_t¶: Interrupt handle, used in order to free the isr after use. Aliases to an int handle for now.
