HAL Drivers

Page 19

￭ RTOS-independent device driver for peripherals

￭ Each HAL driver is composed of two components:● Low-level driver (LLD)

– Manipulates the peripheral registers directly

– Uses versions of the same peripheral seamlessly● High-level driver (HLD)

– The code is specific to a Renesas hardware peripheral, but does not directly access hardware registers

– Exposes one or more APIs to the framework code or user code● Benefits include:

– Portability across SSP platforms

– Low level allows for very fast code– However, more difficult to use than the SSP Frameworks

￭Module names begin with r_

HAL Interfaces/Drivers

Page 20

Application or Application Framework accesses HAL through Interface

Consistent interface to abstract hardware

Extensible configuration for designated hardwareSome peripherals support multiple interfaces

Some interfaces are supported by multiple peripherals

And in some cases there is a one-to-one mapping


Frameworks

Page 21

￭ Gives developers the kind of abstraction, re-use, ease of programming, and consistency that results in faster time to working code.

￭ Provides standardized APIs

￭ Implements commonly used system services and frameworks

￭ Abstracts the use of hardware peripherals from application programs● Provides unified interface ● Provides mutual exclusion & synchronization services

– Manages access conflicts

￭ Examples of application frameworks● Messaging ● Audio playback ● Thread monitor ● Console application● UART ● External IRQ ● IIC ● JPEG decode● SPI ● Touch Panel

￭ Module names begin with sf_Application framework

ADC Framework

￭ ADC Framework provides generic and thread safe APIs for applications to sample data over available ADC channels

￭ Configurable sampling rate and iterations

￭ Samples and buffers data from ADC channels

￭ Notifies applications when the configured number of samples are ready

￭ Uses callback mechanism to notify availability of data

￭ Framework uses GPT timer interface for timing functions

￭ Framework uses DMA or DTC for efficient transfer of data from framework to application
