RTOS/TMDSCNCD280049C: SYS/BIOS timestamp module usage for Modbus timers

Part Number: TMDSCNCD280049C


Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Looking through the SYS/BIOS documentation for Timestamp module: "Timestamp module can be used for benchmarking code and adding timestamps to logs." Does this mean it is not reliable or precise enough for other application use-cases?

I am working on a Modbus RTU implementation that requires checking for time between characters and time between frames. This can be implemented using Timers, but uses up the hardware timers. So I am implementing it using the Timestamp module by capturing timestamp for last received character. Are there any downsides to using it for core application logic?

SYS/BIOS version: bios_6_73_00_12

XDC version: xdctools_3_50_07_20_core
