So I used an Atmel Start generated project, and I am using the following code to configure and enable systick:

 

 

    // Configure SysTick to trigger every millisecond using the CPU Clock
    SysTick->CTRL = 0;                    // Disable the SysTick Module
    SysTick->LOAD = 119999UL;                // Set the Reload Register for 1mS interrupts
    NVIC_SetPriority(SysTick_IRQn, 3);    // Set the interrupt priority to least urgency
    SysTick->VAL = 0;                    // Clear the Current Value register
    SysTick->CTRL = 0x00000007;        // Enable SysTick, Enable SysTick Exceptions, Use CPU Clock
    NVIC_EnableIRQ(SysTick_IRQn);        // Enable the SysTick Interrupt (Global)

 

 

When I run this code, my delay_ms function is off. 1 ms = roughly 4 ms for some reason.

 

I think this is because I added a delay driver in the Atmel Start generator, but added the SysTick stuff manually and they might be colliding somehow? Is there a way to turn systick on in Atmel Start that doesn't interfere with the delay driver?

This topic has a solution.

Whoops. I didn't know I needed to call "delay_init(SysTick)".

Thanks a lot for posting the found solution afterwards, that was really helpful. This thing was driving me nuts.

I have the same problem with delay_init(SysTick) to begin with. Also it looks like SysTick is not enabled when i stop the debugger after initialization. But i see there is delay of 4mS even if systick is not enabled. Not sure this driver is running on which timer. Did anyone resolve this issue? Any information is appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards,

Rishit

That's usually a configuration option - whether timers stop or continue during a debugger halt.
