Four 16-bit general purpose timers(which can also be used as 32 bit
counters), and an RTC (24-bit)
The max clock freq is 48 Mhz, which may be downscaled to any value
which will be fed as an input to these timers.
I guess hrtimers is impossible in these frequencies. What's your
opinion on this?
Thanks,
Vikram
