INTEGRATION

Introduction

Note

In this section, we introduce how to integrate the timer driver into the project.

Create a New Component

Warning

Before you create a component in the driver directory, make sure you have incorporated the driver directory into the project by adding the path to the driver directory to the EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS variable in the project-level CMakeLists.txt file.

Open the project in VSCode, open the integrated terminal, and type in

get_idf 
to actiate the ESP-IDF environment. Then type in the following command to create a new component named tim`:

idf.py -C driver create-component tim

The command above means to create a new component named timin thedriverdirectory. After executing the command, you will see a new directory named tim in the driver directory. And the command will automatically generate the CMakeLists.txt file for the new component, as well as the tim.h and tim.c files.

Alternatively, you can mannually create the timdirectory in thedriverdirectory, and then create theCMakeLists.txt,tim.h, andtim.cfiles in the tim directory.

Replace the Code

Component Level

Replace the code in this section into the CMakelists.txt, tim.h, and tim.c files under the component.

Project Level

Replace the code in main.c with the corresponding code. No need to change the CMakeLists.txt file at the project level.

Compile and Flash the Project

Open the project in VSCode, open the integrated terminal, and type in

idf.py build flash monitor

Now, you will see the LED blinks at the interval of 1s, which is set by the timer period.
