Hi, Will,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes,the hardwear processor clock frequency of nRF52 (Cortex M4F) is 64 MHz and 
can not be changed.

The reason of changing CLOCK_FREQ is that I want re-use the internal timing of 
mynewt already there with more accurate timing, by calling function 
"os_cputime_get32()”.  I’m trying to implement a (soft) IC card reader by nRF52 
with mynewt OS and nimble stack running.

I am also considering to use an independent timer (NRF_TIMER3 or  NRF_TIMER4) 
at the cost of about 0.1mA current. I already use NRF_TIMER2 to provide a 4 MHz 
clock signal output from GPIO of nRF52. By reading the source code of 
apache-mynewt-core, my understanding is that NRF_TIMER0 and NRF_TIMER1 is 
already used by mynewt OS and nimble stack, is my understanding correct?

Thanks,

Jiacheng
