SK-AM62A-LP: How to use main_timer ?

Hello Sathiya,

Please note that my part of the city doesn't have power or internet today (I had to drive to another city to type this response). It looks like the power may be out for a couple of days, so my responses will probably be delayed. Please ping the thread next week if you do not have any replies by then.

Is there a particular reason you need to use a hardware timer instance instead of the Linux OS timer? For most customers, the Linux software timer is good enough for their usecase:

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the response.

I just want to use hardware timers to run scheduled tasks (from milliseconds to minutes). So that load on my CPU will be reduced. I am already using CPU in the lower frequency for reduced power consumption.
