System Tick (SysTick) Timer
In this chapter, we will learn about the System Tick (SysTick) timer, an important core peripheral in all Arm Cortex microcontrollers. We will begin by introducing the SysTick timer and discussing its most common use cases. Following this, we will explore the SysTick timer registers in detail. Finally, we will develop a driver for the SysTick timer.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Introduction to the SysTick timer
- Developing a driver for the SysTick timer
By the end of this chapter, you will have a good understanding of the SysTick timer and be able to effectively implement and utilize it in your Arm Cortex-M projects.
