How to obtain delay in the order of 50us on TMDX570LC43HDK with FreeRtos

Posted by etantonio on November 21, 2017
Hy, I would like to obtain delay in the order of 50us on a FreeRTOS having a tick of 1ms (1000Hz) on TMDX570LC43HDK, I’m almost sure that this is a non sense, so the solution could be a tick for example of 10us, is it a realistic solution to this kind of problem? Thanks Antonio

No, leave tick at 1 to 100ms and use a timer on interrupts for your delay. If it happen infrequently, you might be able to use a delay loop. All depends on your system design. Haveing a tick at 50 or 10us would use a lot of CPU resources in the FreeRTOS scheduler doing nothing very useful. On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 9:39 AM Etantonio etantonio@users.sf.net wrote:

Antonio, in my opinion: when you need a delay of more that a ms, you could have the task sleep by calling e.g. vTaskDelay(). When you want to wait for 50 uS, you can go either of two ways:
  • Set-up a timer-counter that you can poll and wait 50 uS in a loop.
  • Write a loop that has a predictable speed of execution.
Take care with the latter, when you change the optimisation level of the compiler, a loop could be implemented differently, or even not be compiled at all. One solution to this is to write the loop as assembler code. Here is an example from Atmel: ~~~ void portabledelaycycles(unsigned long n) { UNUSED(n); /* n is passed in the register r0 */ asm volatile ( “loop: DMB n” “SUBS R0, R0, #1 n” “BNE.N loop ” ); } ~~~
