[−][src]Module kernel::hil::time
Hardware agnostic interfaces for time and timers within the Tock kernel.
These traits are designed to be able encompass the wide
variety of hardare counters in a general yet efficient way. They
abstract the frequency of a counter through the Frequency
trait
and the width of a time value through the Ticks
trait. Higher-level software abstractions should generally rely on
standard and common implementations of these traits (e.g.. u32
ticks and 16MHz frequency). Hardware counter implementations and
peripherals can represent the actual hardware units an translate
into these more general ones.

Traits
Alarm | Interface for receiving notification when a particular time

AlarmClient | Callback handler for when an Alarm fires (a |
Counter | Represents a free-running hardware counter that can be started and stopped. |
Frequency | Represents a clock's frequency in Hz, allowing code to transform
between computer time units and wall clock time. It is typically
an associated type for an implementation of the |
OverflowClient | Callback handler for when a counter has overflowed past its maximum value and returned to 0. |
Ticks | An integer type defining the width of a time value, which allows clients to know when wraparound will occur. |
Time | Represents a moment in time, obtained by calling |
Timer | Interface for controlling callbacks when an interval has passed.
This interface is intended for software that requires repeated
and/or one-shot timers and is willing to experience some jitter or
imprecision in return for a simpler API that doesn't require
actual calculation of counter values. Software that requires more
precisely timed callbacks should use the |
TimerClient | Callback handler for when a timer fires. |
Timestamp | Represents a static moment in time, that does not change over
repeated calls to |
