Z-Stack, CC2530 and HAL_timers

I'm trying to use use the timers in a project based on the genericApp with HAL_timer library.

When i set the HAL_TIMER flag to true, compilation fails telling me that "The hal timer driver module is removed."

Is it really ? Why and waht is the correct solution to use it without using osal_timer ?

Best regards

    To nbe more precise, on file hal_driver.c line, function HAL_processPoll, one can find :

    void Hal_ProcessPoll ()
    {
     /* Timer Poll */
    #if (defined HAL_TIMER) && (HAL_TIMER == TRUE)
      #error "The hal timer driver module is removed."
    #endif

    I'm wondering if the hal timer functions have been really removed, and if there is another solution for using timers.

    The HAL timers module was deprecated because the use of a H/W timer is so very dependent on the exact timing requirements that no API is satisfactory for a real-time use of them. Since the virtual S/W timers provided by OSAL offer +/- 1 msec resolution accuraccy and are based upon the MAC H/W timer (Timer2), it is left to the user to use the other 3 available timers however they need for real-time H/W timing. The 16-bit Timer1 and the two 8-bit Timer3&4 are at your complete disposal.
