You mean inside a realtime HAL component?
Typically a HAL component is written as a state machine:
Code:
state = 0;
switch state{
case 0: // idle
if (thing) {
stuff;
state = 1
}
case 1: // begin
if (other thing){
more_stuff
state = 2
...
and so on.
To add a timeout:
Code:
state = 0;
switch state{
case 0: // idle
if (thing) {
stuff;
timer = 0;
state = 1
}
case 1: // begin
timer += period; // period is in nS
if (timer > 1000000) {
state = 99;
break
}
if (other thing){
more_stuff
timer = 0
state = 2
...
case 99: // Handle timeout heree
