MPLAB® Harmony v3 Peripheral Libraries on SAM D21: Step 5

Last modified by Microchip on 2023/11/09 09:09

Add Application Code to the Project

The application is already partially developed and is available in the main_d21.c file under <your unzip folder>/samd21_getting_started/dev_files/sam_d21_xpro. The main_d21.c file contains the application logic. It also contains placeholders that you will populate with the necessary code in the next step.

  • Go to the samd21_getting_started/dev_files/sam_d21_xpro folder and copy the pre-developed main_d21.c file.
  • Replace the main_d21.c file of your project available at <Your project folder>/samd21_getting_started/firmware/src by over-writing it with the copied file.
  • Open main_d21.c in MPLAB® X IDE and add the application code by following the steps below:

Under the main_d21.c file, in function main, notice the call to function SYS_Initialize. The generated function SYS_Initialize initializes all the peripheral modules used in the application, which is configured through MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC).

Information

Tip: Press the CTRL key and left click on the SYS_Initialize function. The click will open the implementation for the SYS_Initialize function as shown in the accompanying image.

SYS_Initialize function

​

Note: The NVMCTRL_Initialize, PM_Initialize, and EVSYS_Initialize are system-specific initialization functions. MCC adds these modules by default to the project graph and generates code. These modules will be initialized to user configurations if the user configures them explicitly.

In the main_d21.c function, below SYS_Initialize(), add the following code to register callback event handlers.

SERCOM2_I2C_CallbackRegister(i2cEventHandler, 0);
DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister(DMAC_CHANNEL_0, usartDmaChannelHandler, 0);
RTC_Timer32CallbackRegister(rtcEventHandler, 0);
EIC_CallbackRegister(EIC_PIN_15,EIC_User_Handler, 0);

Following the addition of the previous code, add the function call:

RTC_Timer32Start();

SERCOM2_I2C_CallbackRegister

Information

Note:

  • The function call SERCOM2_I2C_CallbackRegister registers a callback event handler with the I²C Peripheral Library (PLIB). The event handler is called by the I²C PLIB when the I²C transfer is complete.
  • The function call DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister registers a callback event handler with the Direct Memory Access (DMA) PLIB. The callback event handler is called by the DMA PLIB when the DMA transfer (of temperature sensor data to the serial terminal) is complete.
  • The function call RTC_Timer32CallbackRegister registers a Real-Time Clock (RTC) callback event handler with the RTC PLIB. The callback event handler is called by the RTC PLIB when the configured time period has elapsed.
  • The function call EIC_CallbackRegister registers an External Interrupt Controller (EIC) callback event handler with the EIC PLIB. The callback event handler is called by EIC PLIB when the user presses the SW0 switch.

Implement the registered callback event handlers for RTC, I²C, Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART), and EIC PLIBs by adding the following code before the main() function in main_d21.c.

static void EIC_User_Handler(uintptr_t context)
{
    changeTempSamplingRate = true;      
}

static void rtcEventHandler (RTC_TIMER32_INT_MASK intCause, uintptr_t context)
{
   if (intCause & RTC_MODE0_INTENSET_CMP0_Msk)
    {            
        isRTCTimerExpired = true;                              
    }
}

static void i2cEventHandler(uintptr_t contextHandle)
{
   if (SERCOM2_I2C_ErrorGet() == SERCOM_I2C_ERROR_NONE)
    {
        isTemperatureRead = true;
    }
}

static void usartDmaChannelHandler(DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT event, uintptr_t contextHandle)
{
   if (event == DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT_COMPLETE)
    {
        isUSARTTxComplete = true;
    }
}

Add the following code to prepare the received temperature value from the sensor to be shown on the serial terminal.

temperatureVal = getTemperature(i2cRdData);
sprintf((char*)uartTxBuffer, "Temperature = %02d F\r\n", temperatureVal);
LED_Toggle();

prepare the received temperature value from the sensor

Add the following code to implement the change of sampling rate and prepare a message for the change on the serial terminal when the user presses the SW0 switch.

changeTempSamplingRate = false;
if(tempSampleRate == TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_500MS)
{
    tempSampleRate = TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_1S;
    sprintf((char*)uartTxBuffer, "Sampling Temperature every 1 second \r\n");
    RTC_Timer32CompareSet(PERIOD_1S);
}
else if(tempSampleRate == TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_1S)
{
    tempSampleRate = TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_2S;
    sprintf((char*)uartTxBuffer, "Sampling Temperature every 2 seconds \r\n");        
    RTC_Timer32CompareSet(PERIOD_2S);                        
}
else if(tempSampleRate == TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_2S)
{
    tempSampleRate = TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_4S;
    sprintf((char*)uartTxBuffer, "Sampling Temperature every 4 seconds \r\n");        
    RTC_Timer32CompareSet(PERIOD_4S);                                        
}    
else if(tempSampleRate == TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_4S)
{
   tempSampleRate = TEMP_SAMPLING_RATE_500MS;
   sprintf((char*)uartTxBuffer, "Sampling Temperature every 500 ms \r\n");        
   RTC_Timer32CompareSet(PERIOD_500MS);
}
else
{
    ;
}

changeTempSamplingRate

Add code to transfer the buffer containing either:

  • The latest temperature value in the format “Temperature = XX F\r\n”, or

  • The message mentioning the change of sampling rate over USART using DMA.
DMAC_ChannelTransfer(DMAC_CHANNEL_0, uartTxBuffer, (const void *)&(SERCOM3_REGS->USART_INT.SERCOM_DATA), strlen((const char*)uartTxBuffer));

transfer the buffer

You are now ready to build the code!
