Embedded Software Engineer Question:
Explain various uses of timers in embedded system?
Answer:
Timers in embedded system are used in multiple ways
☛ Real Time Clock (RTC) for the system
☛ Initiating an event after a preset time delay
☛ Initiating an even after a comparison of preset times
☛ Capturing the count value in timer on an event
☛ Between two events finding the time interval
☛ Time slicing for various tasks
☛ Time division multiplexing
☛ Scheduling of various tasks in RTOS
