Hello Prial,

What are you trying to do with the timer?

If you are just trying to get the Linux system time, there are plenty of ways to do that. That is not a question about TI software though, it's a generic Linux question (which we cannot support on the TI forums). Please search online, there are plenty of resources out there like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11992937/how-to-get-the-most-exact-clock-in-linux-user-space-application .

Regards,

Nick

There should be plenty of resources on how to set a timer to go off from Linux userspace elsewhere online. No need to do any configuration in the Linux devicetree, or mess around with the hardware timers.

Nick
