STM32F10x - FreeRTOS - ADC - ISR

[valeriogiampa]

Dear Collegue,
I have to use an ADC integrated into the STM32F10x microcontroller.
The firmware application is based of STM32 Peripheral Library and FreeRTOS Porting for STM32 Arm Cortex M3 RTOS.
I have to configure the ADC to operate in single channel continuous conversion mode.
i would select the ouuput data of the ADC with the ADC Interrupt service routine.
I don't know How I can configure the ADC Interrupt and How I can generate an OS Signal in the ADC ISR to start the task.
Can yu help me?
In addition I would like to know if I can use in alternative at the ADC ISR, a DMA to transfer the ADC Output data into the memory without CPU load and How I can do it.

ADC configuration - get ST STD library from:
ST Microelectronics | Resource Selector

they have there plenty of example codes for various ADC configurations and it's interrupt. basicly using their libraries, your ADC init code will look somewhat like this:

ADC_InitStructure.ADC_Mode = ADC_Mode_Independent; // no dual mode
ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ScanConvMode = DISABLE;
ADC_InitStructure.ADC_ContinuousConvMode = ENABLE;
ADC_InitStructure.ADC_DataAlign = ADC_DataAlign_Right;
ADC_InitStructure.ADC_NbrOfChannel = 1;
ADC_Init(ADC1, &ADC_InitStructure);


to generate an OS signal use xSemaphoreGiveFromISR(), xQueueSendFromISR() ,
xQueueSendToBackFromISR() or xQueueSendToFrontFromISR().
look at FreeRTOS-A Free professional grade RTOS supporting 27 architectures, including ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M3, RX600, MSP430, MSP430X, MicroBlaze, AVR, x86, PIC32, PIC24, dsPIC, H8S, HCS12 and 8051 api reference.

Yes you can use DMA with the ADC, again look at ST STD peripheral libraries for example.
