CONFIG_XTENSA_TIMER_ID

System timer CCOMPAREn register index

Type: int

Help

Index of the CCOMPARE register (and associated interrupt) used for the system timer. Xtensa CPUs have hard-configured interrupt priorities associated with each timer, and some of them can be unmaskable (and thus not usable by OS code that need synchronization, like the timer subsystem!). Choose carefully. Generally you want the timer with the highest priority maskable interrupt.
