Library

ccslinklib_c280x in Embedded IDE Link™ CC

Description

For many systems, an execution scheduling model based on a timer interrupt is not sufficient to ensure a real-time response to external events. The C280x Hardware Interrupt block addresses this problem by allowing asynchronous processing of interrupts triggered by events managed by other blocks in the C280x DSP Chip Support Library.

The following C280x blocks that can generate an interrupt for asynchronous processing are available in Target Support Package™ TC2.

• C280x ADC

• C280x eCAN Receive

• C280x SCI Receive

• C280x SCI Transmit

• C280x SPI Receive

• C280x SPI Transmit

Only one Hardware Interrupt block can be used in a model. To handle multiple interrupts, place a Demux block at the output of the Hardware Interrupt block to direct function calls to the appropriate function-call subsystems.

Vectorized Output

The output of this block is a function call. The size of the function call line equals the number of interrupts the block is set to handle. Each interrupt is represented by four parameters shown on the dialog box of the block. These parameters are a set of four vectors of equal length. Each interrupt is represented by one element from each parameter (four elements total), one from the same position in each of these vectors.

Each interrupt is described by:

• CPU interrupt numbers

• PIE interrupt numbers

• Task priorities

• Preemption flags

So one interrupt is described by a CPU interrupt number, a PIE interrupt number, a task priority, and a preemption flag.

The CPU and PIE interrupt numbers together uniquely specify a single interrupt for a single peripheral or peripheral module. The following table maps CPU and PIE interrupt numbers to these peripheral interrupts.

C280x Peripheral Interrupt Vector Values

The task priority indicates the relative importance tasks associated with the asynchronous interrupts. If an interrupt triggers a higher-priority task while a lower-priority task is running, the execution of the lower-priority task will be suspended while the higher-priority task is executed. The lowest value represents the highest priority. Note that the default priority value of the base rate task is 40, so the priority value for each asynchronously triggered task must be less than 40 in order for these tasks to actually cause the suspension of the base rate task.

The preemption flag determines whether a given interrupt is preemptable. Preemption overrides prioritization, such that a preemptable task of higher priority can be preempted by a non-preemptable task of lower priority.
