How to enable and use GP timer module in DM8168

Satheesh babu s

We want to use GP timers in 8168 for timestamping information. How do we enable the GP modules? Do we need to add code for that in the prcm_config_app in EZSDK? Once we do these are the Timer SDK functions available for use from both vpss M3 and DSP?

thanks

Does anyone from TI have any input to help out on this?

Hello,

The best place to start for basic Timer module information is to refer to the Timers Chapter of the device TRM.

Regards,

I figured out how to access the GP timers through a combo of changes in prcm_config_app, M3 app config file and changes in my M3 code to init the Timer module and read the timer.

But, now, I want to access the same timer from A8 side. How do I do that? I don't see similar method from A8 side. Is the only way to do it to mmap the GP Timer reg region and then write and read Timer regs?

thanks
