Function Documentation

ret_code_t nrf_drv_rtc_cc_disable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t channel
)

Function for disabling a channel.

This function disables channel events and channel interrupts. The function asserts if the instance is not initialized or if the channel parameter is wrong.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] channel One of the instance's channels.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS If the procedure was successful.
NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT If an interrupt was pending on the requested channel.
ret_code_t nrf_drv_rtc_cc_set ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t channel ,
uint32_t val ,
bool enable_irq
)

Function for setting a compare channel.

The function asserts if the instance is not initialized or if the channel parameter is wrong. The function powers on the instance if the instance was in power off state.

The driver is not entering a critical section when configuring RTC, which means that it can be preempted for a certain amount of time. When the driver was preempted and the value to be set is short in time, there is a risk that the driver sets a compare value that is behind. If RTCn_CONFIG_RELIABLE is 1 for the given instance, the Reliable mode handles that case. However, to detect if the requested value is behind, this mode makes the following assumptions:

  • The maximum preemption time in ticks (8 - bit value) is known and is less than 7.7 ms (for prescaler = 0, RTC frequency 32 kHz).
  • The requested absolute compare value is not bigger than (0x00FFFFFF) - tick_latency. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] channel One of the instance's channels.
[in] val Absolute value to be set in the compare register.
[in] enable_irq True to enable the interrupt. False to disable the interrupt.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS If the procedure was successful.
NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT If the compare was not set because the request value is behind the current counter value. This error can only be reported if RTCn_CONFIG_RELIABLE = 1.
__STATIC_INLINE void nrf_drv_rtc_counter_clear ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for clearing the counter value.

This function asserts if the instance is not powered on.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrf_drv_rtc_counter_get ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for retrieving the current counter value.

This function asserts if the instance is not powered on or if p_val is NULL.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Return values
value Counter value.
void nrf_drv_rtc_disable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for disabling the RTC driver instance.

Note
Function asserts if instance is disabled.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
void nrf_drv_rtc_enable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for enabling the RTC driver instance.

Note
Function asserts if instance is enabled.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrf_drv_rtc_event_address_get ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
nrf_rtc_event_t event
)

Function for returning a requested event address for the RTC driver instance.

This function asserts if the output pointer is NULL. The event address can be used by the PPI module.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] event One of the peripheral events.
Return values
Address of event register.
ret_code_t nrf_drv_rtc_init ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
nrf_drv_rtc_config_t const * p_config ,
nrf_drv_rtc_handler_t handler
)

Function for initializing the RTC driver instance.

After initialization, the instance is in power off state.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_config Initial configuration. Default configuration used if NULL.
[in] handler User's event handler.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS If successfully initialized.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM If no handler was provided.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE If the instance is already initialized.
__STATIC_INLINE void nrf_drv_rtc_int_disable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t * p_mask
)

Function for disabling all instance interrupts.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_mask Pointer to the location where the mask is filled.
__STATIC_INLINE void nrf_drv_rtc_int_enable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t mask
)

Function for enabling instance interrupts.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] mask Mask of interrupts to enable.
uint32_t nrf_drv_rtc_max_ticks_get ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for getting the maximum relative ticks value that can be set in the compare channel.

When a SoftDevice is used, it occupies the highest level interrupt, so that the application code can be interrupted at any moment for a certain period of time. If Reliable mode is enabled, the provided maximum latency is taken into account and the return value is smaller than the RTC counter resolution. If Reliable mode is disabled, the return value equals the counter resolution.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Return values
ticks Maximum ticks value.
void nrf_drv_rtc_overflow_disable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

void nrf_drv_rtc_overflow_enable ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
bool enable_irq
)

Function for enabling overflow.

This function enables the overflow event and optionally the interrupt. The function asserts if the instance is not powered on.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] enable_irq True to enable the interrupt. False to disable the interrupt.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrf_drv_rtc_task_address_get ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
nrf_rtc_task_t task
)

Function for returning a requested task address for the RTC driver instance.

This function asserts if the output pointer is NULL. The task address can be used by the PPI module.

Parameters

void nrf_drv_rtc_uninit ( nrf_drv_rtc_t const *const p_instance )
