Overview

This file contains a design example using the timer counter driver (XTmCtr) and hardware device using interrupt mode with the counters configured in cascasde mode for a 64 bit operation.

Both the timers should enabled in HW configuration for the cascade mode of operation.

The cascade mode of operation is present in the new versions of the axi_timer IP. Please check the HW Datasheet to see whether this feature is present in the version of the IP that you are using.

This example assumes that the interrupt controller is also present as a part of the system.

 2.04a sdm  07/15/11 Created based on the xtmrctr_intr_example
 4.2   ms   01/23/17 Added xil_printf statement in main function to
                     ensure that "Successfully ran" and "Failed" strings
                     are available in all examples. This is a fix for
                     CR-965028.
 4.5   mus  07/05/18 Updated example to call TmrCtrDisableIntr function
                     with correct arguments. Presently device id is
                     being passed instead of interrupt id. It fixes
                     CR#1006251.
 4.5   mus  07/05/18 Fixed checkpatch errors and warnings.

int main ( void )

This function is the main function of the Tmrctr 64 bit example using Interrupts.

Parameters

None.

Returns

    - XST_SUCCESS to indicate success
    - XST_FAILURE to indicate a failure.

Note: None.

int TmrCtrCascadeIntrExample	(	XIntc *	IntcInstancePtr,
		XTmrCtr *	TmrCtrInstancePtr,
		u16	DeviceId,
		u16	IntrId
	)

This function does a minimal test on the timer counter device and driver as a design example.

The purpose of this function is to illustrate how to use the XTmrCtr driver in cascade mode of operation. It initializes a timer counter and then sets it up in compare mode with auto reload such that a periodic interrupt is generated.

This function uses interrupt driven mode of the timer counter.

Parameters

IntcInstancePtr	is a pointer to the Interrupt Controller driver Instance
TmrCtrInstancePtr	is a pointer to the XTmrCtr driver Instance
DeviceId	is the XPAR_<TmrCtr_instance>_DEVICE_ID value from xparameters.h
IntrId	is XPAR_<INTC_instance>_<TmrCtr_instance>_VEC_ID value from xparameters.h

Returns

XST_SUCCESS if the Test is successful.
XST_FAILURE if the Test is Not Successful.

Note: This function contains an infinite loop such that if interrupts are not working it may never return.
