//! `embedded-time` provides a comprehensive library of [`Duration`] and [`Rate`] types as well as //! a [`Clock`] abstractions for hardware timers/clocks and the associated [`Instant`] type for //! in embedded systems. //! //! Additionally, an implementation of software timers is provided that work seemlessly with all //! the types in this crate. //! //! ```rust //! use embedded_time::{duration::*, rate::*}; //! # use core::convert::TryInto; //! //! let micros = 200_000_u32.microseconds(); // 200_000 μs //! let millis: Milliseconds = micros.into(); // 200 ms //! let frequency: Result<Hertz,_> = millis.to_rate(); // 5 Hz //! //! assert_eq!(frequency, Ok(5_u32.Hz())); //! ``` //! //! # Motivation //! //! The handling of time on embedded systems is generally much different than that of OSs. For //! instance, on an OS, the time is measured against an arbitrary epoch. Embedded systems generally //! don't know (nor do they care) what the *real* time is, but rather how much time has passed since //! the system has started. //! //! ## Drawbacks of the standard library types //! //! ### Duration //! //! - The storage is `u64` seconds and `u32` nanoseconds. //! - This is huge overkill and adds needless complexity beyond what is required (or desired) for //! embedded systems. //! - Any read (with the exception of seconds and nanoseconds) requires arithmetic to convert to the //! requested units //! - This is much slower than this project's implementation of what is analogous to a tagged union //! of time units. //! //! ### Instant //! //! - The `Instant` type requires `std`. //! //! ## Drawbacks of the [`time`](https://crates.io/crates/time) crate //! //! The `time` crate is a remarkable library but isn't geared for embedded systems (although it does //! support a subset of features in `no_std` contexts). It suffers from some of the same drawbacks //! as the core::Duration type (namely the storage format) and the `Instant` struct dependency on //! `std`. It also adds a lot of functionally that would seldom be useful in an embedded context. //! For instance it has a comprehensive date/time formatting, timezone, and calendar support. //! //! ## Background //! //! ### What is an Instant? //! //! In the Rust ecosystem, it appears to be idiomatic to call a `now()` associated function from an //! Instant type. There is generally no concept of a "Clock". I believe that using the `Instant` in //! this way is a violation of the *separation of concerns* principle. What is an `Instant`? Is it a //! time-keeping entity from which you read the current instant in time, or is it that instant in //! time itself. In this case, it's both. //! //! As an alternative, the current instant in time is read from a **Clock**. The `Instant` read from //! the `Clock` has the same precision and width (inner type) as the `Clock`. Requesting the //! difference between two `Instant`s gives a `Duration` which can have different precision and/or //! width. //! //! # Overview //! //! The approach taken is similar to the C++ `chrono` library. [`Duration`]s and [`Rate`]s are //! fixed-point values as in they are comprised of _integer_ and _scaling factor_ values. //! The _scaling factor_ is a `const` [`Fraction`](fraction::Fraction). One benefit of this //! structure is that it avoids unnecessary arithmetic. For example, if the [`Duration`] type is //! [`Milliseconds`], a call to the [`Duration::integer()`] method simply returns the _integer_ //! part directly which in the case is the number of milliseconds represented by the [`Duration`]. //! Conversion arithmetic is only performed when explicitly converting between time units (eg. //! [`Milliseconds`] --> [`Seconds`]). //! //! In addition, a wide range of rate-type types are available including [`Hertz`], //! [`BitsPerSecond`], [`KibibytesPerSecond`], [`Baud`], etc. //! //! A [`Duration`] type can be converted to a [`Rate`] type and vica-versa. //! //! [`Seconds`]: duration::units::Seconds //! [`Milliseconds`]: duration::units::Milliseconds //! [`Clock`]: clock::Clock //! [`Instant`]: instant::Instant //! [`Rate`]: rate::Rate //! [`Hertz`]: rate::units::Hertz //! [`BitsPerSecond`]: rate::units::BitsPerSecond //! [`KibibytesPerSecond`]: rate::units::KibibytesPerSecond //! [`Baud`]: rate::units::Baud //! [`Duration`]: duration::Duration //! [`Duration::integer()`]: duration/trait.Duration.html#tymethod.integer //! //! ## Definitions //! //! **Clock**: Any entity that periodically counts (ie an external or peripheral hardware //! timer/counter). Generally, this needs to be monotonic. A wrapping clock is considered monotonic //! in this context as long as it fulfills the other requirements. //! //! **Wrapping Clock**: A clock that when at its maximum value, the next count is the minimum //! value. //! //! **Timer**: An entity that counts toward an expiration. //! //! **Instant**: A specific instant in time ("time-point") read from a clock. //! //! **Duration**: The difference of two instants. The time that has elapsed since an instant. A //! span of time. //! //! **Rate**: A measure of events per time such as frequency, data-rate, etc. //! //! # Imports //! //!
