Function Documentation

◆ dwt_enable_cycle_counter()

bool dwt_enable_cycle_counter ( void  )

DebugTrace Enable the CPU cycle counter.

This function will try to enable the CPU cycle counter that is intended for benchmarking performance of the code. If function fails, the cycle counter isn't available on this architecture.

Returns
true, if success

References DWT_CTRL, SCS_DEMCR, and SCS_DEMCR_TRCENA.

◆ dwt_read_cycle_counter()

uint32_t dwt_read_cycle_counter ( void  )

DebugTrace Read the CPU cycle counter.

This function reads the core cycle counter if it is enabled. It is the fastest clock running on the system.

Note
The CPU cycle counter must be enabled by dwt_enable_cycle_counter
Returns
0 if cycle counter is not supported or enabled, the cycle counter value otherwise.
