3---------------
4pw_chrono_embos
5---------------
6``pw_chrono_embos`` is a collection of ``pw_chrono`` backends that are
7implemented using embOS v4 for 32bit targets.

10  This module is under construction, not ready for use, and the documentation
11  is incomplete.

13SystemClock backend
14-------------------
15The embOS based ``system_clock`` backend implements the
16``pw_chrono:system_clock`` facade by using ``OS_GetTime32()``. An
17InterruptSpinLock is used to manage overflows in a thread and interrupt safe
18manner to produce a signed 64 bit timestamp. Note that this does NOT use
19``OS_GetTime_us64()`` which is not always available, this could be considered
20for a future alternative backend for the SystemClock.
21
22The ``SystemClock::now()`` must be used more than once per overflow of the
23native embOS ``OS_GetTime32()`` overflow. Note that this duration may
24vary if ``OS_SUPPORT_TICKLESS`` is used.
25
26Build targets
27-------------
28The GN build for ``pw_chrono_embos`` has one target: ``system_clock``.
29The ``system_clock`` target provides the
30``pw_chrono_backend/system_clock_config.h`` and ``pw_chrono_embos/config.h``
31headers and the backend for the ``pw_chrono:system_clock``.
