Timers
8.1 Introduction
Each Cortex-A9 processor has its own private 32-bit timer and 32-bit watchdog timer. Both
processors share a global 64-bit timer. These timers are always clocked at 1/2 of the CPU frequency
(CPU_3x2x).
On the system level, there is a 24-bit watchdog timer and two 16-bit triple timer/counters. The
system watchdog timer is clocked at 1/4 or 1/6 of the CPU frequency (CPU_1x), or can be clocked by
an external signal from an MIO pin or from the PL. The two triple timers/counters are always clocked
at 1/4 or 1/6 of the CPU frequency (CPU_1x), and are used to count the widths of signal pulses from
an MIO pin or from the PL.
