AXI Timer

Introduction


This page gives an overview of Axi Timer Linux driver which is available as part of the Linux distribution.The LogiCORE™ IP AXI Timer/Counter is a 32/ 64-bit timer module that interfaces to the AXI4-Lite interface.

HW IP features

  • AXI interface based on the AXI4-Lite specification
  • Two programmable interval timers with interrupt, event generation, and event capture capabilities
  • Configurable counter width
  • One Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output
  • Cascaded operation of timers in generate and capture modes

Kernel Configuration

Existing driver ( https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/blob/xlnx_rebase_v5.4_2020.1/arch/microblaze/kernel/timer.c)  is tightly coupled with Microblaze processor. By default it would be used as "arch timer" for Microblaze.

            reg = <0x41c00000 0x10000>;
            xlnx,count-width = <0x20>;
            xlnx,one-timer-only = <0x0>;
        };

Mainline status

Existing driver https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/blob/master/arch/microblaze/kernel/timer.c is in sync with mainline.
