8 \brief Create and control timer and timer callback functions.
10 In addition to the \ref CMSIS_RTOS_Wait CMSIS-RTOS also supports virtual timer objects. These timer objects can
11 trigger the execution of a function (not threads). When a timer expires, a callback function is executed to run associated
12 code with the timer. Each timer can be configured as a one-shot or a periodic timer. A periodic timer repeats its operation
13 until it is \ref osTimerDelete "deleted" or \ref osTimerStop "stopped". All timers can be
14 \ref osTimerStart "started, restarted", or \ref osTimerStop "stopped".
16 \note RTX handles Timers in the thread \b osRtxTimerThread. Callback functions run under control of this thread and may use
17 other CMSIS-RTOS API calls. The \b osRtxTimerThread is configured in \ref timerConfig.
18 \note Timer management functions cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".
20 The figure below shows the behavior of a periodic timer. For one-shot timers, the timer stops after execution of the
23 \image html "Timer.png" "Behavior of a Periodic Timer"
28 The following steps are required to use a software timer:
31 osTimerId_t one_shot_id, periodic_id;
33 -# Define callback functions:
35 static void one_shot_Callback (void *argument) {
36 int32_t arg = (int32_t)argument; // cast back argument '0'
37 // do something, i.e. set thread/event flags
39 static void periodic_Callback (void *argument) {
40 int32_t arg = (int32_t)argument; // cast back argument '5'
41 // do something, i.e. set thread/event flags
44 -# Instantiate and start the timers:
46 // creates a one-shot timer:
47 one_shot_id = osTimerNew(one_shot_Callback, osTimerOnce, (void *)0, NULL); // (void*)0 is passed as an argument
48 // to the callback function
49 // creates a periodic timer:
50 periodic_id = osTimerNew(periodic_Callback, osTimerPeriodic, (void *)5, NULL); // (void*)5 is passed as an argument
51 // to the callback function
52 osTimerStart(one_shot_id, 500);
53 osTimerStart(periodic_id, 1500);
58 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
62 The \ref osTimerType_t specifies the a repeating (periodic) or one-shot timer for the function \ref osTimerNew.
64 \var osTimerType_t::osTimerOnce
66 The timer is not automatically restarted once it has elapsed.
68 \var osTimerType_t::osTimerPeriodic
70 The timer repeats automatically and triggers the callback continuously.
73 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
77 Instances of this type hold a reference to a timer object.
80 /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/
82 \typedef void (*osTimerFunc_t) (void *argument)
84 The timer callback function is called everytime the timer elapses.
86 The callback might be executed either in a dedicated timer thread or in interrupt context. Thus it is recommended to only
87 use ISR callable functions from the timer callback.
89 \param[in] argument The argument provided to \ref osTimerNew.

100 \fn osTimerId_t osTimerNew (osTimerFunc_t func, osTimerType_t type, void *argument, const osTimerAttr_t *attr)
102 The function \b osTimerNew creates an one-shot or periodic timer and associates it with a callback function with \a argument.
103 The timer is in stopped state until it is started with \ref osTimerStart. The function can be safely called before the RTOS
104 is started (call to \ref osKernelStart), but not before it is initialized (call to \ref osKernelInitialize).
106 The function \b osTimerNew returns the pointer to the timer object identifier or \token{NULL} in case of an error.
108 \note This function \b cannot be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines".

155 \fn osStatus_t osTimerStart (osTimerId_t timer_id, uint32_t ticks)
157 The function \b osTimerStart starts or restarts a timer specified by the parameter \a timer_id. The parameter \a ticks
158 specifies the value of the timer in \ref CMSIS_RTOS_TimeOutValue "time ticks".
160 Possible \ref osStatus_t return values:
161 - \em osOK: the specified timer has been started or restarted.
162 - \em osErrorISR: \b osTimerStart cannot be called from interrupt service routines.

203 The function \b osTimerStop stops a timer specified by the parameter \a timer_id.
205 Possible \ref osStatus_t return values:
206 - \em osOK: the specified timer has been stopped.
207 - \em osErrorISR: \b osTimerStop cannot be called from interrupt service routines.
208 - \em osErrorParameter: parameter \a timer_id is either \token{NULL} or invalid.

243 \fn uint32_t osTimerIsRunning (osTimerId_t timer_id)
245 The function \b osTimerIsRunning checks whether a timer specified by parameter \a timer_id is running. It returns \token{1}
246 if the timer is running and \token{0} if the timer is stopped or an error occurred.
