Hello Sebastian,
My understanding is that with this patch, one GPTIMER subtimer is always
allocated for the timecounter in uniprocessor configuration in the case
of "use_gptimer".
Does this mean that the lower hardware requirement for all LEON3 systems
is raised to require a GPTIMER with two available subtimers?
(Since the last hardware subtimer is typically dedicated to the watchdog
function, three subtimers would in practice be needed.)
What are the implications when using RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSING together with
"use_gptimer"?
In bsps/sparc/leon3/include/bsp/leon3.h, we have:
> #if defined(RTEMS_MULTIPROCESSING)
> #define LEON3_CLOCK_INDEX \
>( rtems_configuration_get_user_multiprocessing_table() ?
LEON3_Cpu_Index : 0 )
> #else
> #define LEON3_CLOCK_INDEX 0
> #endif
Can LEON3_COUNTER_GPTIMER_INDEX of CPU0 be equal to LEON3_CLOCK_INDEX of
CPU1 here?
Best Regards,

Using the auto reload counter which generates the clock ticks for the
timecounter or CPU counter is quite difficult and only works in
uniprocessor configurations.
