Timer

The Timer sample demonstrates how to configure and use the Bare Metal Timer (Bare Metal Timer library) library to generate both single-shot and periodic callback events to your application code.

Requirements

The sample supports the following development kits:

Overview

The single-shot timer is used to sequence a series of actions (logging Hello, world!, and bye!), while the periodic timer provides a visual indication of ongoing activity.

User interface

Lit when the device is initialized.

Building and running

This sample can be found under samples/peripherals/timer/ in the Bare Metal folder structure.

For details on how to create, configure and program a sample, see Getting Started with the samples.

Testing

You can test this sample by performing the following steps:

1. Compile and program the application.

2. Observe that the Timer sample started message is logged.

3. Observe that the Timer sample initialized message is logged.

4. Observe that the three words Hello, world!, and Bye! are logged one after another interlaced with period signs that are logged every half second.

   With the default Kconfig options of the sample, the words Hello, world!, and Bye! are logged after one, three, and seven seconds, respectively.
