6*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``pw_chrono_freertos`` is a collection of ``pw_chrono`` backends that are
7*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerimplemented using FreeRTOS.

9*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker.. warning::
10*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker  This module is still under construction, the API is not yet stable.

12*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSystemClock backend
13*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-------------------
14*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe FreeRTOS based ``system_clock`` backend implements the
15*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``pw_chrono:system_clock`` facade by using ``xTaskGetTickCountFromISR()`` and
16*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``xTaskGetTickCount()`` based on the current context. An InterruptSpinLock is
17*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerused to manage overflows in a thread and interrupt safe manner to produce a
18*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workersigned 64 bit timestamp.
19*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
20*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe ``SystemClock::now()`` must be used more than once per overflow of the
21*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workernative FreeRTOS ``xTaskGetTickCount*()`` overflow. Note that this duration may
22*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workervary if ``portSUPPRESS_TICKS_AND_SLEEP()``, ``vTaskStepTick()``, and/or
23*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``xTaskCatchUpTicks()`` are used.
24*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
25*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSystemTimer backend
26*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-------------------
27*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe FreeRTOS based ``system_timer`` backend implements the
28*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``pw_chrono:system_timer`` facade by using FreeRTOS's Software Timers API.
29*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``pw::chrono::SystemTimer`` instances use ``StaticTimer_t`` &
30*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``xTimerCreateStatic``, dynamic memory allocation is never used. This means
31*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerthat both ``#define configUSE_TIMERS 1`` and
32*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``#define configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION 1`` must be set in the FreeRTOS
33*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerconfiguration.
34*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
35*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThis also means that FreeRTOS's ``Timer Service Daemon Task`` is used and must
36*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerbe configured appropriately by the user through ``configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY``,
37*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``configTIMER_QUEUE_LENGTH``, and ``configTIMER_TASK_STACK_DEPTH``.

39*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerBuild targets
40*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-------------
41*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe GN build for ``pw_chrono_freertos`` has one target: ``system_clock``.
42*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe ``system_clock`` target provides the
43*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker``pw_chrono_backend/system_clock_config.h`` and ``pw_chrono_freertos/config.h``
44*61c4878aSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerheaders and the backend for the ``pw_chrono:system_clock``.
