TIMER0 macros

Here is a bit of code that I wrote to test the use of TIMER0, using the TIMER0 macros defined in timers.h, the target board is a Freedom KL25Z

#include "mbed.h"

#include "timers.h"

Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx

int main() {

  pc.printf("Starting Test!\n");
   
  TIMER0_INIT();
  TIMER0_START();
    while(1) {
     
        pc.printf("TIMER0_VALUE() = %d\n",TIMER0_VALUE());
    }
}

At first I got an error that the compler could not find LPC17xx.h so I commented out #include <LPC17xx.h> in mbeds_globals.h since I was using a Freedom KL25Z board then the compiler came back with the following errors:

"identifier "LPC_SC" is undefined" in file "/main.cpp", Line: 11, Col: 2 "identifier "LPC_TIM0" is undefined" in file "/main.cpp", Line: 11, Col: 2 "identifier "LPC_TIM0" is undefined" in file "/main.cpp", Line: 12, Col: 2

I assume this may have something to do with definitions that are missing that were in LPC17xx.h.

I am rather new to programming arms but have programmed 8-bit MCUs and computers in the past.

TIA wade

What is timers.h? From your errors I get it is an LPC1768 specific file, so that won't work for the KL25z

Timers.h is a part of Simplelib it looks like I assumed wrong when I thought that the macros defined in Simplelib would have had their definitions, register locations, etc. re-defined for the KL25Z.

On the other hand I am probably doing something stupid. I would prefer that to not being able to use a couple of Freedom boards that I have without going remapping the definitions in the files from the LPC boards to the Freedom boards.

Thanks wade
