LPC2138 timer1 match register int setting without ISR code

I need three time period for onewire data reading. Without writing any ISR and can I get required time periods by polling M0, M1 and M2 match register interrup flags. Following code is what I am working on and it doesn't work. Is there any missing settings else?

#define Presc      14
//--------------------------16 bit write ----------------------------
void onewire_write(short int bayt, short int data)      // 6, 54, 10
{
 short int count, bits;
 bits = bayt * 8;
#define AB      6
#define BC      60
#define DD      10
#define M0_i    1                  // Bit <2:0> <s:r:i>   Stop,Reset,Interrupt
#define M1_i    1<<3           // Bit <5:3> <s:r:i>   "
#define M2_irs  7<<6           // Bit <8:6> <s:r:i>   "
 T1PR  = Presc;                    // Prescale 15, 60 MHz CClock, 15 MHz PCLCK
 T1MR0 = AB;                   // Wait this long
 T1MR1 = AB+BC;                // Wait this long
 T1MR2 = AB+BC+DD ;            // Wait this long
 T1MCR = M0_i | M1_i | M2_irs; // Interrupt,stop and reset settings of Match regs

 T1TCR = 0x02; // Reset timer1

 for (count=0; count<bits; ++count)
 {
  output_low();
    T1TCR = 0x01;              // timer1 starts
    while(!(T1IR & 1));        // Wait for int flag
  if ( data&1 != 0 ) output_float(); // write 0 or 1
    data >>= 1;
    while(!(T1IR & 2));        // Wait for int flag
  output_float();              // set 1-wire high again,
    while(!(T1IR & 4));        // Wait for int flag
    T1IR = 0x07; // Clear M2, M1, M0 interrupts

 }
}

  • I tried this

     ...
    enable_interrupts() ;
    ...
    disable_interrupts() ;
    ...
    

    but compiler gave errors, saying undefined funtions enable..., disable... The code above with colored red function call was compiled and in the simulator called as ordinary function call. I know calling normal function is different than branching to an ISR by an interrupt source. AFAIK the latter changes the operation mode which may allow certain modifcation on the settings that are not allowed in user mode. Is this correct?

    I think I should copy a SWI.s file to working folder and include to the project :)

  • Note that your timing is critical while doing the individual operations, such as reset (to a lesser degree), and reading or writing individual bits. But the onewire interface allows you to pause the transfer between the individual bits.

    This allows you to only disable interrupts around each bit transfer, instead of having one huge (and very slow) section where interrupts are disabled for milliseconds.

    Too long sections with interrupts disabled means that serial communication and other activities that are interrupt-driven may fail. For serial communication, you may get overruns because you don't pick up received characters before new ones arrives. Even when the processor have a receive FIFO, you still have to service the UART regularly.

  • Dear Westermark,
    you are absolutely right. So I will transfer the disable and enable interrupts call instruction to bit writing or reading loops of write and read functions.
