Study Notes
TWI Slave Mode Programming
-
Initialization:
- Set the slave address in the TWAR register.
- 7 bits for the address.
- 8th bit (TWGCE) is 1 for answering general calls.
- Enable the TWI module by setting the TWEN bit in TWCR to 1.
- Enable TWI, acknowledge generation by setting TWEN, TWINT, and TWEA bits in TWCR to 1.
- Set the slave address in the TWAR register.
-
Listening:
- Poll the TWINT flag in TWCR to detect when the slave is addressed by a master.
- Alternatively, use TWI interrupts.
-
Sending Data:
- Copy the data byte to the TWDR register.
- Set TWEN, TWEA, and TWINT bits in TWCR to 1 to start sending.
- Poll the TWINT flag to confirm complete transmission.
-
Receiving Data:
- Set TWEN and TWINT bits in TWCR to 1 to start receiving.
- Poll the TWINT flag to confirm reception.
- Read the received byte from the TWDR register.
RTC Connection
- Real-time Clock (RTC) can be connected via I2C to a microcontroller.
FreeRTOS
-
Real-time Operating System (RTOS):
- Designed for microcontrollers.
- Primarily written in C.
- Multitasking system for single-processor environments.
- Kernel schedules tasks, utilizing CPU for concurrency.
- Scheduling policy accounts for task dependencies and priorities.
- Event-driven and periodic tasks managed to meet time constraints.
- System failure results from unmet task constraints.
-
Task Implementation:
- Implemented as C functions.
- Return type is
void
. - Takes a
void
pointer parameter (flexible, unspecified data type, often of address size). - Must use
vTaskDelete()
to end a task (passingNULL
ends the calling task). - State transitions between "running" and "not running".
-
Task Creation:
-
xTaskCreate()
function creates tasks.-
pvTaskCode
: Pointer to the task function. -
pcName
: Descriptive task name (for debugging). Limited length (configMAX_TAKS_NAME_LEN
inFreeRTOSConfig.h
). -
usStackDepth
: Task stack size (number of words). -
pvParameters
: Optional parameter passed to task function (defaultNULL
).
-
-
-
Queues:
- Created with
xQueueCreate()
. - Data can be added to the back or front of the queue using
xQueueSendtoBack()
orxQueueSendtoFront()
. - Use
xQueueSendtoBackFromISR()
orxQueueSendtoFrontFromISR()
for sending from Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) to avoid issues. -
xQueueMessagesWaiting()
monitors queue size.
