COMMON - Common Utilities

Description

General purpose utilities and cross-compiler support.

This SDK supports the following compilers/IDEs:

  • Simplicity Studio
  • IAR Embedded Workbench
  • Keil µVision IDE
  • Plain armgcc

Certain compiler features such as alignment is implemented differently in the tools. Therefore, macros such as SL_ALIGN are provided to enable compiler independent code.

Note
RAM code macros are implemented in a separate module RAMFUNC - RAM Function Support . Cross-compiler RAM code support needs extended documentation and it is therefore implemented as a separate module.

Functions

uint32_t SL_CTZ (uint32_t value)
Count trailing number of zeros.
uint32_t SL_RBIT (uint32_t value)
Reverse the bits.
uint32_t SL_RBIT16 (uint32_t value)
Reverse the bits.
uint32_t SL_Log2ToDiv (uint32_t log2)
Convert logarithm of 2 to division factor.
