<p>A convenient way to express miniminal timing requirements is by delaying progression.</p>
<p>This can be achieved by instantiating a monotonic timer (for implementations, see <a href="https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic/tree/master/rtic-monotonics"><code>rtic-monotonics</code></a>):</p>

<h2 id="timeout"><a class="header" href="#timeout">Timeout</a></h2>
<p>Rust <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/future/trait.Future.html"><code>Future</code></a>s (underlying Rust <code>async</code>/<code>await</code>) are composable. This makes it possible to <code>select</code> in between <code>Futures</code> that have completed.</p>
<p>A common use case is transactions with an associated timeout. In the examples shown below, we introduce a fake HAL device that performs some transaction. We have modelled the time it takes based on the input parameter (<code>n</code>) as <code>350ms + n * 100ms</code>.</p>
<p>Using the <code>select_biased</code> macro from the <code>futures</code> crate it may look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground noplayground"> // Call hal with short relative timeout using `select_biased`
select_biased! {
v = hal_get(1).fuse() =&gt; hprintln!("hal returned {}", v),
_ = Mono::delay(200.millis()).fuse() =&gt; hprintln!("timeout", ), // this will finish first
}
// Call hal with long relative timeout using `select_biased`
select_biased! {
v = hal_get(1).fuse() =&gt; hprintln!("hal returned {}", v), // hal finish first
_ = Mono::delay(1000.millis()).fuse() =&gt; hprintln!("timeout", ),
}</code></pre>
<p>Assuming the <code>hal_get</code> will take 450ms to finish, a short timeout of 200ms will expire before <code>hal_get</code> can complete.</p>
<p>Extending the timeout to 1000ms would cause <code>hal_get</code> will to complete first.</p>
<p>Using <code>select_biased</code> any number of futures can be combined, so its very powerful. However, as the timeout pattern is frequently used, more ergonomic support is baked into RTIC, provided by the <a href="https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic/tree/master/rtic-monotonics"><code>rtic-monotonics</code></a> and <a href="https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic/tree/master/rtic-time"><code>rtic-time</code></a> crates.</p>
<p>Rewriting the second example from above using <code>timeout_after</code> gives:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust noplayground"> // get the current time instance
let mut instant = Mono::now();
// do this 3 times
for n in 0..3 {
// absolute point in time without drift
instant += 1000.millis();
Mono::delay_until(instant).await;
// absolute point in time for timeout
let timeout = instant + 500.millis();
hprintln!("now is {:?}, timeout at {:?}", Mono::now(), timeout);
match Mono::timeout_at(timeout, hal_get(n)).await {
Ok(v) =&gt; hprintln!("hal returned {} at time {:?}", v, Mono::now()),
_ =&gt; hprintln!("timeout"),
}
}</code></pre>
<p>In cases where you want exact control over time without drift we can use exact points in time using <code>Instant</code>, and spans of time using <code>Duration</code>. Operations on the <code>Instant</code> and <code>Duration</code> types come from the [<code>fugit</code>] crate.</p>
<p><code>let mut instant = Systick::now()</code> sets the starting time of execution.</p>
<p>We want to call <code>hal_get</code> after 1000ms relative to this starting time. This can be accomplished by using <code>Systick::delay_until(instant).await</code>.</p>
<p>Then, we define a point in time called <code>timeout</code>, and call <code>Systick::timeout_at(timeout, hal_get(n)).await</code>.</p>
<p>For the first iteration of the loop, with <code>n == 0</code>, the <code>hal_get</code> will take 350ms (and finishes before the timeout).</p>
<p>For the second iteration, with <code>n == 1</code>, the <code>hal_get</code> will take 450ms (and again succeeds to finish before the timeout).</p>
<p>For the third iteration, with <code>n == 2</code>, <code>hal_get</code> will take 550ms to finish, in which case we will run into a timeout.</p>
