Help¶

Says y if you want to use external 32 kHz crystal oscillator to drive the slow clock. Note that this adds a few seconds to boot time, as the crystal needs to stabilize after power-up.

Says n if you do not need accurate and precise timers. The slow clock will be driven by the internal fast RC oscillator running at 32 kHz.

Direct dependencies¶

SOC_SERIES_SAM3X && SOC_FAMILY_SAM

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults¶

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
