Struct Timer 

pub struct Timer {}

Direct access to the MIPS core timer (CP0 timer) and related interrupt control

Can write to the “compare” register of MIPS core timer and can thus be instantiated only once. Write to the “count” register is not implemented to avoid conflicts with the Delay struct.

Implementations

impl Timer

pub fn take() -> Self

Get the Timer singleton. Panics if the singleton is not available.

pub fn free(self)

Return the Timer singleton.

pub fn read_count(&self) -> u32

Read Count register (CP0 register 9, select 0)

pub fn read_compare(&self) -> u32

Read Compare register (CP0 register 11, select 0)

pub fn write_compare(&self, compare: u32)

Write to Compare register (CPP0 register 11, select 0)

pub fn enable_interrupts(&self, int: &INT)

Enable interrupts

pub fn disable_interrupts(&self, int: &INT) -> bool

Disable interrupts and return whether interrupts were previously enabled.

pub fn set_interrupt_prio(&self, int: &INT, prio: u8, subprio: u8)

Set interrupt priority and sub priority. A priority level of 0 is the lowest priority level and disables the interrupts.
