Since target specific ticker drivers are not ready also features which uses ticker in upper layers may not work correctly and tests for these features.
We need to disable also failing higher level ticker related tests (by adding check if DEVICE_USTICKER symbol is available and raise #error [NOT_SUPPORTED] if not).
Note:
tests-mbed_drivers-rtc is new and uses us ticker to perform a delay.
count_ticks() function counts ticker ticks elapsed during execution of N cycles of empty while loop.
In current version N value (cycles) is given as volatile paramater in order to disable possible compiler optimalisation.
There was a problem with measured time on different compilers and additionally results on ARM compiler were unexpected (the difference beetween measured elapsed ticks for the same number of cycles was to large). This might be caused by the memory access in order to store updated variable in memory. To fix this issue given numer of cycles has been stored into register and register is decremented (no memory access).
With this fix count_ticks(NUM_OF_CYCLES, 1) call returns 2500 +/-1 for us ticker ticks using each compiler (K64F).
On some platforms (e.g. K64F) different counters are used for time measurement and interrupt generation.
Because of that we should relax interrupt test case and give additional time before checking if interrupt handler has been executed.
Since according to the ticker requirements min acceptable counter size is 12 bits (low power timer) for which max count is 4095, then all test cases must be executed in this time window.
HAL ticker layer handles overflow and it is not handled in the target ticker drivers.
The intention was to use ticker_overflow_delta equal to 0 for low power ticker tests and ticker_overflow_delta equal to 50 for high frequency ticker tests. Current implementation is invalid since for devices which provide LOW_POWER_TIMER feature delta is equal to 0 and for devices without this feature delta is equal 50.
Since target specific ticker drivers are not ready also features which uses ticker in upper layers may not work correctly and tests for these features.
We need to disable also failing higher level ticker related tests (by adding check if DEVICE_USTICKER symbol is available and raise #error [NOT_SUPPORTED] if not).
These boards will be re-enabled when sleep driver for them is ready.
Note:
This operation is done by removing "SLEEP" feature from target's "device_has" list (in targets.json config file).
For NRF52_DK removing of "SLEEP" feature causes some timing issues which have influence on tests. In order to successfully disable this board we need to disable also related features like "USTICKER", "LOWPOERTIMER" and slightly modify ticker tests, so they will not be executed if usticker support is not available (by default all targets support us ticker).
From lowercase to uppercase and drops 'test_'-prefix. Test case
descriptions do also match to TC names now.
Additionally all the TCs are not behing MBED_EXTENDED_TESTS
anymore.
Starts splitting Greentea test suites to TCP and UDP suites and adds
more test cases like
tcpsocket_echotest_burst
tcpsocket_echotest_burst_nonblock
tcpsocket_endpoint_close
tcpsocket_recv_100k
tcpsocket_recv_100k
tcpsocket_recv_timeout
tcpsocket_send_timeout
tcpsocket_thread_per_socket_safety
udpsocket_echotest_burst
udpsocket_echotest_burst_nonblock
udpsocket_recv_timeout
udpsocket_sendto_timeout
With small wait time at the start, chances are that device does not
enter sleep and idle time is zero. Increasing wait time to make sure
device goes to sleep.
If user has initiated a delayed event (either with call_in or call_every),
user might need to know how much time is left until the event is
due to be dispatched.
Added time_left() function can be used to get the remaining time.
CPUID base register is available for Cortex-M processors only.
Cortex-A devices have Main ID Register, which can be used in future to
get processor info.
Currently test assumes that 1 sec is long enough to set RTC time and read same time which has been set.
In some cases extra time for synchronisation between clock domains is needed and after setting/reading operations the read value might be different than one which has been set (+1 sec).
Additionally in some cases when lp ticker is based on RTC, the RTC implementation may use mechanism to trace elapsed seconds without modifying RTC registers. In such case it is possible that second will change immediately after setting time.
Add 1 sec tolerance (min possible) for such checks.
The unified NRF51 target and feature BLE directories have been
reorganized to follow the naming and directory structure of the
NRF52 implementation.
This reorganization does not include TARGET_MCU_NRF51822 and
derived targets.
The flash clock test is disabled for the NRF52 series. This change
re-enables the test but with a higher tolerance to accommodate the
high jitter on the current ticker implementation.
Previously, the echo test followed a flow like the following:
-STEP- -HOST PC- -DEVICE-
0 send _sync
1 echo back _sync
2 send echo_count
3 echo back echo_count
4 send first echo packet
5 echo back echo packet
(repeat echo steps)
However, as noted by issue #6659, this test would somtimes fail between
steps 4 and 5. To ensure each KV pair makes to the correct destination,
we usually write the KV back. Step 4 does not wait for this to happen
and starts sending echo packets. So the device is acting as the "echo
server".
This change makes the host PC the "echo server". The idea being that the
device will be slower and the host pc should always be able to keep up
with it, not the other way around.
Update the SysTimer test to match the updated API. Changes are:
- increment_tick() renamed to _increment_tick() and explicitly
synchronized
-update_tick() replaced with resume() and a call to suspend() was added
before this
