The on-chip timer does not have enough range to support`````

Kaigi Yang,

What do you want to do with the CLK manager? This is used to generate timing interrupts that are then counted to determine when a PRD Periodic function should be called.

The CLK manager is not intended to be used as a high-precision timer for measuring external events, but it is instead intended as a timing source for the DSP/BIOS Operating System to support your application program.

The DSP/BIOS API documentation should have a section on the CLK Manager and a description of the normal range used. I think 1000 is a common number to use, so the CLK Manager's ticks are in 1ms increments.

This field might not be a floating point value, but a number this low is impractical in terms of the processor overhead required to service these interrupts.

So I go back to the question, what do you want to do with the CLK manager?
