This example implements the LED program (with timing) for the target with the 8-bit microcontroller. This example builds on the previous example02_02 by including a small subset of a microcontroller abstraction layer, enough to provide functions for approximate timing and delays.
Building the example can be done with GNUmake
in the command batch or shell script.
The results of the build will be stored in the bin
directory. After successful build, files such as the HEX-file
led.hex and othe name and map files can be found in bin.
The classic GNUmake facility is used to support the build.
The user needs to supply (or modify) the Win* path to gcc-avr
On a *nix system, the tool chain should be pre-installed,
such as might be done via package management.
In Win*, the GNUmake command is executed from
Build.bat. The exact Win* command including command line
parameters is shown below.
Target\Build\Build.bat avr rebuild
Project workspaces providing code visualization and single-click build are provided for both VC as well as Atmel Studio.
In the LED program with timing, the blinking is controlled directly
from the main subroutine of the program. The blinking
frequency is approximately 1/2Hz, controlled by a timer dely.
The blinking loop can be found in the file sys_start.cpp.
It is reproduced below within its contect in main.
Please note the MCAL initialization, which is essential
for initializing clocks and interrupts. It is this layer
that needs to be modified when porting to other microcontroller
systems.
int main()
{
// Initialize the mcal.
mcal::init();
// Toggle led0 forever.
for(;;)
{
led_b5.toggle();
// Wait 1 second in a blocking delay.
timer_type::blocking_delay(timer_type::seconds(1U));
}
}
