Using timestamp counter on C6424 evm

Smitha Joseph

Hi,

I am using C6424 EVM and CCSv4.0. I would like to generate packets with timestamp information generated using a 90KHz clock. I found from the documentation that a time stamp counter is present in C6424 evm. I have a doubt, Is this counter incremented at (cpu frequency/8) or at cpu frequency ?

Thanks,

The C64x+ TSC Time Stamp Counter is incremented at the CPU frequency.
