Hi all,Yes - since eCos started.
I'd like to know how the timer mechanism works.
I have used a function to return the current time, cyg_current_time().
I guess that this function returns the ticks count since when I turn on the
board, is it correct?
The timing device is usually a hardware timer which can generate an interrupt after aOtherwise, Is there a variable, method or class returning/containing the ticks count since the power up?
Moreover, I have read that there is a macro to read the current value of the timing devices counter since the last interrupt, called HAL_CLOCK_READ. What is the relationship between the tick and interrupt?
