Hardware init function profit a great deal from being inlined if the
given parameters are constant -- which is the common use-case, we could
probably call this for all timers and still have less overhead. The
hwtimer_pwm_ini (which calls hwtimer_ini) gets completely computed at
compile-time resulting only in the register settings of hwtimer_ini.
This is now possible because we get rid of static storage for the
max_ticks and instead compute this in hwtimer_pwm_max_ticks from the
timer register settings.
We can now directly compile arduino sketches (.pde) files.
Arduino compatible analogWrite works now.
But there is still a long way to go, serial I/O and timer stuff (delay,
millis etc) currently don't work (not tested but I don't expect this to
work).
It can be used in an arduino sketch or in a normal contiki program.
We get a PWM frequency of 490.2 Hz (a period of 2.040 ms), that's
Arduino compatible. If you need different frequencies see native timer
usage in examples/osd/pwm-example
In a contiki program you have to call arduino_pwm_timer_init to
initialize the timer before pwm works. The arduino sketch wrapper
already does this.
