AM5728: Why DM Timer and not GP Timer in CCS for AM572x?

Part Number: AM5728
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi,

    We have used timers in our TI RTOS application. While going through the TRM document, we found that AM572x has GP Timer module, where as when we are working on CCS and if we choose "ti.sysbios.timers.gptimer.Timer" module, the compiler ends up with error saying, that "Timer is not supported".

However if we use, "ti.sysbios.timers.dmtimer.Timer" module it works fine. Why TRM says of GP Timers but CCS allows usage of DM Timers? What makes the difference, someone please elaborate.

Thanks and Regards
