Detailed Description

Timing Measurement APIs.

Function Documentation

timing_counter_get()

static timing_t timing_counter_get ( void  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Return timing counter.

Returns

Timing counter.

timing_cycles_get()

static uint64_t timing_cycles_get ( volatile timing_t *const  start, volatile timing_t *const  end  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Get number of cycles between start and end.

For some architectures or SoCs, the raw numbers from counter need to be scaled to obtain actual number of cycles.

Parameters

start	Pointer to counter at start of a measured execution.
end	Pointer to counter at stop of a measured execution.

Returns

Number of cycles between start and end.

timing_cycles_to_ns()

static uint64_t timing_cycles_to_ns ( uint64_t  cycles )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Convert number of cycles into nanoseconds.

Parameters

cycles

Number of cycles

Returns

Converted time value

timing_cycles_to_ns_avg()

static uint64_t timing_cycles_to_ns_avg ( uint64_t  cycles, uint32_t  count  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Convert number of cycles into nanoseconds with averaging.

Parameters

cycles	Number of cycles
count	Times of accumulated cycles to average over

Returns

Converted time value

timing_freq_get()

static uint64_t timing_freq_get ( void  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Get frequency of counter used (in Hz).

Returns

Frequency of counter used for timing in Hz.

timing_freq_get_mhz()

static uint32_t timing_freq_get_mhz ( void  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Get frequency of counter used (in MHz).

Returns

Frequency of counter used for timing in MHz.

timing_init()

void timing_init

(

void

)

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Initialize the timing subsystem.

Perform the necessary steps to initialize the timing subsystem.

timing_start()

void timing_start

(

void

)

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Signal the start of the timing information gathering.

Signal to the timing subsystem that timing information will be gathered from this point forward.

timing_stop()

void timing_stop

(

void

)

#include <include/zephyr/timing/timing.h>

Signal the end of the timing information gathering.

Signal to the timing subsystem that timing information is no longer being gathered from this point forward.
