Keep the RTC code if either DEVICE_RTC or DEVICE_LOWPOWERTIMER is
defined on the devices which use the RTC for both the rtc api and the
low power timer api. This allows DEVICE_LOWPOWERTIMER to be enabled while
DEVICE_RTC is turned off.
- Disable microsecond ticker interrupt on reinitialization
- Skip us_ticker_set_interrupt() if timestamp is already past
- Eliminate tmr2Config since tmrConfig is adequate for all timer config
1. Enable LPTICKER for K22, K24, K64, K66, K82, KL82F, KW24D
2. Change the implementation to only use the LPTMR which reduces
the amount of interrupts generated which is required for tickless
operation

I decided to move these files to the targets/TARGET_NORDIC/TARGET_NRF5x/TARGET_NRF51 since us_ticker.h is for sure specific for NRF51_DK and common_rtc.c might be valid also for NRF52, but this needs to be checked while porting NRF52_DK board.
Provide the following modifications for lp ticker driver:
- According to NRF51_DK reference manual rtc interrupt cannot be controlled by rtc event. In the previous implementation interrupts were enabled permanently and specific interrupt was enabled/disabled by enabling/disabling the specific event. If event is enabled, then event signal is provided to Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI). If interrupt is enabled, then interrupt signal is provided to Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC). Disable all events permanently. Enable lp ticker overflow interrupt permanently(needed for RTC), disable lp ticker capture/compare interrupt on init (lp_ticker_init) , enable lp ticker interrupt when lp ticker interrupt is set (lp_ticker_set_interrupt), disable lp ticker interrupt on disable request(lp_ticker_disable_interrupt).
- Provide lp ticker data for higher level (freq: 32kHz / len: 24 bits),
- Add the following features to init routine: disable lp ticker interrupt.
- Make ticker driver to operate on ticks instead of us.
- Simplify lp ticker read and set interrupt routines (upper layers handle conversion to us and interrupt scheduling).
According to new ticker standards the following requirements for us ticker are not met on RRF5 boards:
- has a frequency between 250KHz and 8MHz (currently is driven by 32kHz clock)
- ticker increments by 1 each tick (currently is scaled to 1 MHz by incrementing counter by ~31)
Since BLE softdevice uses TIMER0 the proposition is to use high speed TIMER1 for us ticker configured as follows:
- TIMER counter width: 16 bits (max)
- TIMER frequency: 1MHz
This solution also uses Timer's capture/compare register 0 to specify interrupt time and Timer's capture/compare register 1 to read current timer value.
I implemented USTICKER feature.
The mainly changing is here.
- I added a macro to mbed_drv_cfg.h for commonalizing code for GR-PEACH and GR-LYCHEE with different clock frequencies, and referenced it's macro at us_ticker.c.
- ticker_init()
Currently, ticker_init() keep counting, disables the ticker interrupt, and is safe to call repeatedly.
Therefore, in order to satisfy specifications, I removed GIC_EnableIRQ at end of function and added GIC_DisableIRQ at begin of function.
When an interrupt is required, it will be set with ticker_set_interrupt().
If executing the following, the counter has been initialized. So it will not call after executing the first time.
OSTM1TT = 0x01; /* Stop the counter and clears the OSTM1TE bit. */
OSTM1TS = 0x1; /* Start the counter and sets the OSTM0TE bit. */
- ticker_free()
this function stops the counting and powerdown the us_ticker.
To satisfy the mbed specificationm, I implemented free() function.
- ticker_read()
Currently, Mbed spec's frequeny is between 250KHz and 8MHz, but the frequency that is used at my ticker is 33MHz.
Therefore, in order to satisfy specifications, I changed the process to return the timer counter value divided by 32(33MHz / 32).
Since the calcurate function by using 64 bit is no longer necessay, I removed it.
- ticker_set_interrupt()
Same as the above read(),
In order to satisfy specifications, I changed the process to set the value multiplied by 32.
- ticker_fire_interrupt()
In order to satisfy specifications, I implemented fire_interrupt() function.
Also I added GIC_EnableIRQ for allowing the interrupt at end of function.
- ticker_get_info()
To satisfy the mbed specificationm, I implemented ticker_get_info() function. The value of freq includes rounding off.
The new HAL allows to share the timer bit width and frequency,
the actual handling of mapping 16 bits counter up to 32 bits or
64 bits is now managed by mbed common layer.
This makes this ticker layer very similar to 32bits one and much
easier than before.
Re-implemented both us_ticker and lp_ticker to match the new API and specifications.
Details:
* On EFM32GG, EFM32WG, EFM32LG, EFM32HG, EFM32ZG: Use the RTC peripheral to back lp_ticker, and a TIMER to back us_ticker.
* On EFM32PG, EFR32MG, EFM32PG12, EFR32MG12: Use the RTCC peripheral to back lp_ticker (dual-purpose, also used to back RTC), and a TIMER to back us_ticker.
mbed RTC specifications now dictate that the RTC needs to retain and keep on counting through reset. On Silicon Labs parts, this means the RTC API can not be backed by the Silicon Labs RTC peripheral, since that doesn't provide retention functionality.
Therefore:
* On EFM32GG, EFM32WG, EFM32LG: mbed RTC API is now backed by BURTC.
* On EFM32PG, EFR32MG, EFM32PG12, EFR32MG12: mbed RTC API is now backed by RTCC.
* On EFM32ZG, EFM32HG: mbed RTC API is sadly no longer supported, since these chips don't have retained memory.
