事件任务矩阵 (ETM)

[English]

简介

如果外设 X 需要向外设 Y 发起事件通知,一般只能通过 CPU 中断实现。在此过程中,CPU 会代表外设 X,给外设 Y 发送通知。然而,在对时间敏感的应用程序中,CPU 中断引发的延迟不容忽视。

通过引入事件任务矩阵 (ETM) 模块,部分外设可以直接通过预先设置的连接关系,将事件通知发送给其他外设,无需 CPU 中断介入。由此,外设实现精确、低延迟同步,并减轻 CPU 负担。

ETM 通道概述

ETM 模块具有多个通道,这些通道支持用户根据需要进行配置,连接特定 事件任务。激活某一事件时,ETM 将自动触发相应任务。

支持 ETM 功能的外设向 ETM 提供其事件和任务的连接关系。ETM 通道可以连接任意事件和任务,事件和任务甚至可以来自于同一个外设。然而,对于一个 ETM 通道,一次只能将一个事件与一个任务连接(即 1 对 1 关系)。如果要使用不同事件触发同一任务,则需申请多条 ETM 通道。

使用 ETM 通常可实现以下功能:

  • 当定时器报警事件发生时,翻转 GPIO 电平

  • 当在 GPIO 上监测到脉冲边沿时,启动 ADC 转换

功能概述

下文将分节概述 ETM 的功能,并介绍配置和使用 ETM 模块的基本步骤:

  • ETM 通道分配 - 介绍如何安装和卸载 ETM 通道。

  • ETM 事件 - 介绍如何分配新的 ETM 事件句柄,以及如何从不同外设获取现有句柄。

  • ETM 任务 - 介绍如何分配新的 ETM 任务句柄,以及如何从不同外设获取现有句柄。

  • ETM 通道控制 - 介绍常见的 ETM 通道控制函数。

  • 线程安全 - 列出了驱动程序中始终线程安全的 API。

  • Kconfig 选项 - 列出了 ETM 支持的 Kconfig 选项,这些选项对驱动程序的行为会产生不同影响。

ETM 通道分配

在 ESP32-C6 中,存在许多相同的 ETM 通道 1,各通道在软件中由 esp_etm_channel_handle_t 表示。可用硬件资源汇集在资源池内,由 ETM 核心驱动程序管理,无需手动管理通道的分配和释放。ETM 核心驱动程序会在调用 esp_etm_new_channel() 时自动分配通道,在调用 esp_etm_del_channel() 时删除通道。分配通道的要求通过 esp_etm_channel_config_t 配置。

在删除 ETM 通道前,请调用 esp_etm_channel_disable() 禁用要删除的通道,或确保该通道尚未由 esp_etm_channel_enable() 启用,再继续删除操作。

ETM 事件

ETM 事件对其事件源进行了抽象,屏蔽了具体事件源的细节,并在软件中表示为 esp_etm_event_handle_t,使应用程序可以更便捷地处理不同类型的事件。ETM 事件可以由各种外设产生,因此获取事件句柄的方法因外设而异。当不再需要某个事件时,请调用 esp_etm_channel_connect(),并传递一个 NULL 事件句柄,断开与事件的连接,随后调用 esp_etm_del_event(),释放事件资源。

GPIO 事件

GPIO 边沿 事件是最常见的事件类型,任何 GPIO 管脚均可触发这类事件。要创建 GPIO 事件句柄,请调用 gpio_new_etm_event(),并使用 gpio_etm_event_config_t 提供的配置信息:

接下来,请调用 gpio_etm_event_bind_gpio() 函数,连接 GPIO ETM 事件句柄与 GPIO 管脚。注意,要设置 GPIO 管脚,只能使用由 gpio_new_etm_event() 函数创建的 ETM 事件句柄。对于其他类型的 ETM 事件,调用此函数,将返回 ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG 错误。该函数也无法完成 GPIO 的初始化,在使用 GPIO ETM 事件之前,仍需调用 gpio_config() 函数,设置 GPIO 管脚的属性,如方向、高/低电平模式等。

其他外设事件

ETM 任务

ETM 任务对其操作进行了抽象,在软件中表示为 esp_etm_task_handle_t,使任务得以用同一方式管理和表示。ETM 任务可以分配给不同外设,因此获取任务句柄的方式因外设而异。当不再需要某个任务时,请调用 esp_etm_channel_connect(),并传递一个 NULL 事件句柄,断开与任务的连接,随后调用 esp_etm_del_event(),释放任务资源。

GPIO 任务

GPIO 任务是最常见的任务类型。一个 GPIO 可以采取一个或多个 GPIO 操作,而一个 GPIO 任务也可以同时管理多个 GPIO 管脚。当 ETM 通道激活任务时,任务可以同时设置管理的所有 GPIO 引脚,使其设置/清除/切换状态。要创建 GPIO 任务句柄,请调用 gpio_new_etm_task(),并使用 gpio_etm_task_config_t 提供的配置信息:

接下来,需要连接 GPIO ETM 任务句柄与 GPIO 管脚。为此,请调用 gpio_etm_task_add_gpio() 函数。如果需要任务句柄管理更多的 GPIO 管脚,可以重复调用以上函数,注意,要设置 GPIO 管脚,只能使用由 gpio_new_etm_task() 函数创建的 ETM 任务句柄。对于其他类型的 ETM 任务,调用此函数,将返回 ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG 错误。该函数也无法完成 GPIO 的初始化,在使用 GPIO ETM 任务之前,仍需调用 gpio_config() 函数,设置 GPIO 管脚的属性,如方向、高/低电平模式等。

要删除 GPIO ETM 任务,请调用 esp_etm_del_task()。在此之前,请确保已经调用过 gpio_etm_task_rm_gpio(),删除了所有先前添加的 GPIO 管脚。

ETM 通道控制

映射事件与任务

在调用 esp_etm_channel_connect() 将它们连接到同一个 ETM 通道之前,ETM 事件与 ETM 任务之间没有任何映射关系。注意,使用 NULL 任务/事件句柄调用该函数时,会将通道与任何任务或事件解除映射。此函数可以在通道启用之前或之后调用,但在运行时调用此函数更改映射关系存在一定风险,因为此时通道可能正处于周期的中间阶段,新的映射可能无法立即生效。

启用及禁用通道

调用 esp_etm_channel_enable() 启用 ETM 通道,调用 esp_etm_channel_disable() 禁用 ETM 通道。

ETM 通道分析

要检查是否为 ETM 通道设置了正确的事件和任务,可以调用 esp_etm_dump(),输出所有工作中的 ETM 通道及其关联的事件和任务。输出格式如下:

===========ETM Dump Start==========
channel 0: event 48 ==> task 17
channel 1: event 48 ==> task 90
channel 2: event 48 ==> task 94
===========ETM Dump End============

以上输出信息打印的数字 ID 在 soc/soc_etm_source.h 文件中定义。

线程安全

ETM 驱动程序会确保工厂函数 esp_etm_new_channel()gpio_new_etm_task() 的线程安全。使用时,可以直接从不同的 RTOS 任务中调用此类函数,无需额外锁保护。

在 ISR 环境中,不支持运行任何函数。

其他以 esp_etm_channel_handle_tesp_etm_task_handle_tesp_etm_event_handle_t 作为首个位置参数的函数,则非线程安全,应避免从不同任务中调用此类函数。
