Re: [U-Boot] core ticks/timer code

Dear Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

In message 20090331113956.GD28787@game.jcrosoft.org you wrote:

Agreed (except that we probably cannot completely throw away the tick; IIRC there are cases in early startup when nothing else is available yet).

not necessarely you can activate the timer just after the cpu_init so normally you do not need any get_ticks.

Please check for example the PowerPC code, then.

Ther ethe timer implementation relies heavily on interrupts and is not available in early stages, for example in NAND booting systems with tight memory restrictions.

Best regards,
