HAL Component — MULTISWITCH

INSTANTIABLE COMPONENTS — General

All instantiable components can be loaded in two manners

Using loadrt with or without count= | names= parameters as per legacy components
Using newinst, which names the instance and allows further parameters and arguments
primarily pincount= which can set the number of pins created for that instance (where applicable)

NAME

multiswitch — This component toggles between a specified number of output bits

SYNOPSIS

multiswitch

USAGE SYNOPSIS

loadrt multiswitch
OR
newinst multiswitch <newinstname> [ pincount=N | iprefix=prefix ] [instanceparamX=X | argX=X ]

( args in [ ] denote possible args and parameters, may not be used in all components )

FUNCTIONS

multiswitch.N.funct ( OR <newinstname>.funct (requires a floating-point thread) )

PINS

multiswitch.N.up bit in (default: false) ( OR <newinstname>.up bit in (default: false) ) - Receives signal to toggle up

multiswitch.N.down bit in (default: false) ( OR <newinstname>.down bit in (default: false) ) - Receives signal to toggle down

multiswitch.N.top-position u32 io ( OR <newinstname>.top-position u32 io ) - Number of positions

multiswitch.N.position s32 io ( OR <newinstname>.position s32 io ) - Current state (may be set in the HAL)

multiswitch.N.bit-%02d bit out (MM=00..pincount) (default: false) ( OR <newinstname>.bit-%02d bit out (MM=00..pincount) (default: false) ) - Output bits

INST_PARAMETERS

pincount int (default: 6)
