Detailed Description
The Watch device deals with timer interrupts.
Handles LAPIC::Timer interrupts, therefore managing the time slices and triggering a thread switch if necessary.
Member Function Documentation
| bool Watch::windup | ( | uint32_t | us | ) |
Windup / initialize.
Assigns itself to the Plugbox and initializes the LAPIC::Timer in such a way that regular interrupts are triggered approx. every us microseconds when Watch::activate() is called. For this purpose, a suitable timer divisor is determined based on the timer frequency determined with LAPIC::Timer::ticks(). This timer divisor has to be as small as possible, but large enough to prevent the 32bit counter from overflowing.
- Parameters
-
us Desired interrupt interval in microseconds.
- Returns
- Indicates if the interval could be set.

| uint32_t Watch::interval | ( | ) | const |
| void Watch::activate | ( | ) | const |
Activate the timer on this core.
The core local timer starts with the interval previously configured in windup(). To get timer interrupts on all cores, this method must be called once per core (however, it is sufficient to call windup only once since the APIC-Bus frequency is the same on each core).
