5.8.3. Specifying the Default System Timer
For more information about this setting, refer to the Nios® II Software Build Tools Reference section.
The script searches the .sopcinfo file for a timer component to use as the default system timer. To be an appropriate system timer, the component must have the following characteristics:
- It must be a timer, that is, is_timer_device must return true.
- It must have a slave port connected to the Nios® II processor.
When the script finds an appropriate system timer component, it sets hal.sys_clk_timer to the timer slave port descriptor. The script prefers a slave port whose descriptor contains the string sys_clk, if one exists. If no appropriate system timer component is found, the script sets hal.sys_clk_timer to none.
