<sys/alt_timestamp.h>Description
The alt_timestamp_start() function starts the system timestamp counter.For more information, refer to “Using Timer Devices” in the "Developing Programs Using the Hardware Abstraction Layer" chapter.
The implementation of this function is provided by the timestamp driver. Therefore, whether this function is thread-safe and or available at interrupt level depends on the underlying driver.
This function resets the counter to zero, and starts the counter running.
