ctimer_dma_trigger#

Overview#

This example shows how to use CTimer to trigger DMA transfer by match feature.
DMA requests are generated when the value of Timer Counter (TC) matches match register.
In this example, CTimer match event occurs every 1 second and then trigger DMA transfer.
After DMA transfer two times, that is 2 seconds later, CTimer counter stops and DMA will not be triggered.
This example do not generate external outputs.

Running the demo#

The log below shows example output of the CTimer driver simple match demo in the terminal window:
