![]() More information in the author's blog post: Pomiar wykorzystanych cykli mikrokontrolera AVR. Of course, this could be written in C/C as naked functions full of inline-assembler, but the inline-assembler is ugly, _asm_ statement accepts only text strings with instructions and requires EOL marks "\n" at the end of each line, which is very annoying, especially while creating larger pieces of code. Which will help make some corrections to the final result and get a very accurate measurement. And the most important, to have full control over the processor and the executed instruction set, to know how much additional ticks and delays they introduce. Why in assembler? To practice and recall some sort of asm skills on other platform than x86/64. So it was decided to write something quickly in assembler. This crystal not only present in clock but present in all computing real time systems. All the digital clocks have a crystal inside of them which is the heart of clock. Some simulators and debuggers have a cycle counter, but unfortunately not all of them have such tools when it is necessary. ATmega32A microcontroller has a 16 bit timer, and we will be using that timer to count the seconds and develop a digital clock. The project was created in the need oh the hour when author wanted to know how many cycles does it take the microcontrollers to execute tested algorithms and other fragments of code. Real Time Clock (RTC) Using the Asynchronous Timer. It can be used as a tool to determine the number of cycles used by CPU to execute a specified code in real-time or as a simple general purpose tick counter. ![]() 60 beats per minute 1 beat per second 24 ticks per second. An 8-bit register can count up to 28 256 (0 to 255). I try to use the 16-bit timer of ATMega on each midi clock tick. ![]() Timer 0 and timer 2 use two different 8-bit registers, whereas timer 1 uses a 16-bit register. Generate a precision output signal (period, duty cycle, frequency). These Timer/Counters let you Turn on or turn off an external device at a programmed time. 1: Bit Values of Timer Counter Control Register (TCCR) in AVR ATMega 16. Maximum number of clock ticks that a timer can count depends on the size of the register. 7805 Regulator (U2 Optional if not using USBasp power) So far we have learned how to program an ATmega device, use basic bit manipulation, use I/O, and take analog measurements via the ADC. The ATmega328P is equipped with two 8-bit timer/counters and one 16-bit counter. This small piece of assembly code implements a very accurate tick counter functionality over a built-in 16-bit timer on AVR microcontrollers. Atmega328p is equipped with timer0, timer1, timer2 out of which two are 8-bits and one is 16-bit. ![]()
