If a BSP doesn't provide a CPU counter implementation, then the default value will be almost always wrong. The value of 1GHz was chosen to get reasonable safe busy wait functions, e.g. they return not too early. > > As a side note, using Hz units in uint32_t means we limit to about 4.2 > GHz. This seems a safe assumption, but worth documenting? Yes, sorry, the CPU counter API documentation is quite long on my TODO list: https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2848 Faster CPUs can scale down the CPU counter frequency if necessary. -- Sebastian Huber, embedded brains GmbH Address : Dornierstr. 4, D-82178 Puchheim, Germany Phone : +49 89 189 47 41-16 Fax : +49 89 189 47 41-09 E-Mail : sebastian.hu...@embedded-brains.de PGP : Public key available on request.
