Detailed Description

Driver for the ELC peripheral on RZ MPUs. This module implements the ELC Interface.

Overview

The event link controller (ELC) uses the event requests generated by various peripheral modules as source signals to connect (link) them to different modules, allowing direct cooperation between the modules without central processing unit (CPU) intervention. The conceptual diagram below illustrates a potential setup where a pin input triggers a timer which later triggers an ADC conversion. These tasks would be automatically handled without the need for polling or interrupt management.

Event Link Controller Conceptual Diagram

In essence, the ELC is an array of multiplexers to route a wide variety of interrupt signals to a subset of peripheral functions. Events are linked by setting the multiplexer for the desired function to the desired signal (through R_ELC_LinkSet). The diagram below illustrates one peripheral output of the ELC. In this example, a conversion start is triggered for ADC when the GPT00 counter overflows:

ELC Example

Features

The ELC HAL module can perform the following functions:

• Initialize the ELC to a pre-defined set of links
• Create an event link between two blocks
• Break an event link between two blocks
• Generate one of seven software events that interrupt the CPU

A variety of functions can be activated via events, including:

• General-purpose timer (GPT) control
• ADC and TSU conversion start
• Port group output and input (ports 6, 8 only)
• Single port output and input
• GBRTH auxiliary timestamp trigger

Note

The available sources and peripherals may differ between devices. A full list of selectable peripherals and events is available in the User's Manual for your device.

Some peripherals have specific settings related to ELC event generation and/or reception. Details on how to enable event functionality for each peripheral are located in the usage notes for the related module(s) as well as in the User's Manual for your device.

Configuration

Note

Event links will be automatically generated based on the selections made in module properties. To view the currently linked events check the Event Links tab in the FSP Configuration editor.

To manually link an event to a peripheral at runtime perform the following steps:

1. Configure the operation of the destination peripheral (including any configuration necessary to receive events)
2. Use R_ELC_LinkSet to set the desired event link to the peripheral
3. Configure the signaling module to output the desired event (typically an interrupt)

To disable the event, either use R_ELC_LinkBreak to clear the link for a specific event.

Note

The ELC module needs no pin, clocking or interrupt configuration; it is merely a mechanism to connect signals between peripherals. However, when linking I/O Ports via the ELC the relevant I/O pins need to be configured as inputs or outputs, and more ELC module I/O port settings.

Interrupt and event signals are exclusive output controlled. Signals that can be handled as either interrupt signals or event signals are no longer output as interrupt signals when linked to peripherals by the ELC module. Interrupt and/or event signals are listed in the User's Manual for your device.

Build Time Configurations for r_elc

The following build time configurations are defined in fsp_cfg/r_elc_cfg.h:

Configuration	Options	Default	Description
Parameter Checking	Default (BSP) Enabled Disabled	Default (BSP)	If selected code for parameter checking is included in the build.

Configurations for System > Event Link Controller (r_elc)

This module can be added to the Stacks tab via New Stack > System > Event Link Controller (r_elc).

Configuration	Options	Default	Description
Name	ELC instance name must be g_elc to match elc_cfg_t data structure created in elc_data.c	g_elc	Module name. Fixed to g_elc.

Usage Notes

Limitations

Developers should be aware of the following limitations when using the ELC:

• To link events it is necessary for the ELC and the related modules to be enabled. The ELC cannot operate if the related modules are in the module stop state or the MPU is in a low power consumption mode for which the module is stopped.
• Signals to the ICU from the other units must be input with an interval of at least 34 cycles at 100 MHz between them. If an interval is shorter than this, input signals may be lost.
• Using a DMAC REQ signal generated by an SW DMAC Request Generation Register as an event output is not allowed.
