Periodic counter?

Genius 5820 points

Hi,


I'm looking for a possibility to implement a periodic counter. It should increment with a frequency of about 100 kHz. Following solutions seem to be way too complicated for me:

  • use PRU with a counter variable and a delay
  • use a timer and an ISR to increment a variable

So my question: is there a register available which could be abused for this? E.g. some clock counter that is running all the time which only would have be read and divided by a constant value?

ATTENTION: This is NO STARTERWARE question, so please do not move this thread!

Thanks!
