could I to generate 40Mhz pulse on esp32 GPIO

[NewPrasertKitt]

I tried from those codes on Google but seem they doesn't work! Is the esp32 can do that?

Rudi, thanks for your kindly help. could you tell me how to code these in arduino.

Which Board you want use?

1 tick on a hardware timer is at 80Mhz. Divide that by two and send it to a GPIO pin. I'd use direct write to the GPIO pin instead of digitalwrite.

Hello rudi,
I did try this sample code and reconfig the timer as below

timer = timerBegin(0, 2, true);
timerAttachInterrupt(timer, &onTimer, true);
timerAlarmWrite(timer, 2, true);
timerAlarmEnable(timer);

I use digitalWrite command to set and reset the GPIO but the pulse output just nothing. How to direct set/reset the GPIO, I think the digitalWrite command is too slow, not fast enough to work at this frequency.


I use Heltec Wifi Kit32 board.

Thanks

hello idahowalker,
could you show me how to code in arduino to direct write GPIO of ESP32. thank you.

Hi NewPrasertKitt,

The simplest approach is to use on board peripherals to generate the pulse and do not engage the CPUs directly. In this case I propose LED Controller.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. #include "driver/ledc.h"
2.  
3. #define PULSE_OUTPUT_PIN 4
4.  
5. void setup()
6. {
7.   ledc_timer_config_t ledc_timer;
8.   ledc_channel_config_t ledc_channel;
9.  
10.   ledc_timer.speed_mode   = LEDC_HIGH_SPEED_MODE;
11.   ledc_timer.timer_num    = LEDC_TIMER_0;
12.   ledc_timer.bit_num      = (ledc_timer_bit_t) 1;
13.   ledc_timer.freq_hz      = 40000000;
14.  
15.   ledc_channel.channel    = LEDC_CHANNEL_0;
16.   ledc_channel.gpio_num   = PULSE_OUTPUT_PIN;
17.   ledc_channel.speed_mode = LEDC_HIGH_SPEED_MODE;
18.   ledc_channel.timer_sel  = LEDC_TIMER_0;
19.   ledc_channel.duty       = 1;
20.  
21.   ledc_timer_config(&ledc_timer);
22.   ledc_channel_config(&ledc_channel);
23. }
24.  
25. void loop()
26. {
27.   delay(1000);
28. }

a small complex arduino example taken from esp-idf

Code: Select all

#include "soc/emac_ex_reg.h"
 
 extern void rtc_plla_ena(bool ena, uint32_t sdm0, uint32_t sdm1, uint32_t sdm2, uint32_t o_div);
    // for rev0 chip: f_out = f_xtal * (sdm2 + 4) / (2 * (o_div + 2))
    // so for 40MHz XTAL, sdm2 = 1 and o_div = 1 will give 50MHz output

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

    PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PERIPHS_IO_MUX_GPIO16_U, FUNC_GPIO16_EMAC_CLK_OUT);
    REG_SET_FIELD(EMAC_EX_CLKOUT_CONF_REG, EMAC_EX_CLK_OUT_H_DIV_NUM, 0);
    REG_SET_FIELD(EMAC_EX_CLKOUT_CONF_REG, EMAC_EX_CLK_OUT_DIV_NUM, 0);
    REG_CLR_BIT(EMAC_EX_CLK_CTRL_REG, EMAC_EX_EXT_OSC_EN);
    REG_SET_BIT(EMAC_EX_CLK_CTRL_REG, EMAC_EX_INT_OSC_EN);

    // this did in the past 50Mhz enabled sig on GPIO
    // since the rtc_plla_ena was removed from lib
    // not sure how this can be enabled now
    rtc_plla_ena(1, 0, 0, 1, 0);


}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

note:

...
Edit: rtc_plla_ena function signature may change, this function may be removed, you may get eaten by raptors if you use it, etc, etc.

so i think the rtc_plla_ena is now removed from the lib ..

the example by @krzychb is simple and good and do the things you searched for too.
also the timer example. what you want to do ?

rudi, krzychb thanks for your help, I use this pulse signal to test osciloscope bandwidth.
