ctimer_pwm_interrupt_example#

Overview#

The Simple PWM Interrupt project is to demonstrate usage of the SDK CTimer driver as a PWM with interrupt callback functions In this example an IO pin connected to the LED is used as a PWM output line to generate a PWM signal. With an interrupt callback the PWM duty cycle is changed frequently in such a way that the LED brightness can be varied.

Running the demo

This demo is an external flash plain load demo, ROM will copy image in external flash to SRAMX to run:

  1. Build the demo to generate a bin file. Note: If need to generate bin file using MCUXpresso IDE, below steps need to be followed: Set in example Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Build steps->Post-build steps->Edit enbable arm-none-eabi-objcopy -v -O binary “&{BuildArtifactFileName}” “&{BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin”

      This plainload example linked the vector table to 0x00000000, but program to external flash 0x10000000.
    
  2. Program the bin file to external on board flash via SEGGER J-FLASH Lite(V6.22 or higher):

    a. Open SEGGER J-FLASH Lite, select device LPC54S018.

    b. Click the ‘Erase Chip’ to erase the extrenal flash.(if can not success, press SW4 button and reset the board, and try to erase again)

    c. Select the bin data file, set the ‘.bin/Erase Start’ address to 0x10000000, then click ‘Program Device’ Note: Please use above way to program the binary file built by armgcc tool chain to external flash. For IAR, KEIL, MCUXpresso IDE, you can use the IDE tool to program the external flash.

Output pin Board location CTIMER2_MAT0 J21_1 (PWM)

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the EVK board J33.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

The log below shows example output of the CTimer simple PWM demo using interrupts in the terminal window:

CTimer example to generate a PWM signal
This example uses interrupts to update the PWM duty cycle

Probe an oscilloscope to the output pin described in board settings, you will see a PWM signal with a changing duty cycle.
