Function Documentation

nrfx_err_t nrfx_rtc_cc_disable ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t channel
)

Function for disabling a channel.

This function disables channel events and channel interrupts.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] channel One of the channels of the instance.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS The procedure is successful.
NRFX_ERROR_TIMEOUT Interrupt is pending on the requested channel.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_rtc_cc_set ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
uint32_t channel ,
uint32_t val ,
bool enable_irq
)

Function for setting a compare channel.

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. In this case, if the reliable mode is enabled for the specified instance, the risk is handled. 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 this.
Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] channel One of the channels of the instance.
[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
NRFX_SUCCESS The procedure is successful.
NRFX_ERROR_TIMEOUT The compare is not set because the request value is behind the current counter value. This error can only be reported if the reliable mode is enabled.
__STATIC_INLINE void nrfx_rtc_counter_clear ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for clearing the counter value.

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

Function for retrieving the current counter value.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Returns
Counter value.
void nrfx_rtc_disable ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for disabling the RTC driver instance.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
void nrfx_rtc_enable ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for enabling the RTC driver instance.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t nrfx_rtc_event_address_get ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
nrf_rtc_event_t event
)

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

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.
Returns
Address of event register.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_rtc_init ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance ,
nrfx_rtc_config_t const * p_config ,
nrfx_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 Pointer to the structure with the initial configuration.
[in] handler Event handler provided by the user. Must not be NULL.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS Successfully initialized.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_STATE The instance is already initialized.
__STATIC_INLINE void nrfx_rtc_int_disable ( nrfx_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 nrfx_rtc_int_enable ( nrfx_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 nrfx_rtc_max_ticks_get ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

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

When a stack (for example SoftDevice) is used and it occupies high priority interrupts, the application code can be interrupted at any moment for a certain period of time. If the reliable mode is enabled, the provided maximum latency is taken into account and the return value is smaller than the RTC counter resolution. If the reliable mode is disabled, the return value equals the counter resolution.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Returns
Maximum ticks value.
void nrfx_rtc_overflow_disable ( nrfx_rtc_t const *const p_instance )

Function for disabling overflow.

This function disables the overflow event and interrupt.

Parameters

)

Function for enabling overflow.

This function enables the overflow event and optionally the interrupt.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.

nrf_rtc_task_t task
)

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

The task address can be used by the PPI module.
