4 Software Implementation

The firmware provided has been verified on ATmega64 and ATmega328PB by changing the device in the Atmel Studio. The project contains the files as explained in the following table:
Table 4-1. Project file Information
File NameDescription
main.cThis file contains the main routine which has the application code. This includes the initialization and ISR for Timer 1 used as free running timer.
device.hThis file acts as a wrapper to have definitions for the two devices. This code can be used for other devices with no changes or minimal, if any.
icp.cThis file consists of the drivers necessary for the ICP module. The functions icp_init and icp_rx can be called respectively, to do initialization and fetch a sample for demodulator.
icp.hThis file should be included to use the functions in icp.c. This header file declares the functions defined in icp.c and a required data type icp_sample_t. This type reflects the type used for computing the duty cycle, so it is wide enough to hold values [0:ICP_SCALE]. It also defines the preprocessor symbol ICP_ANALOG, which must be set to 1 to select analog mode and to 0 for digital.

More details about the firmware and its functioning are discussed in the following sections.
