GPTimer: Delay Needed to Read Some GPTimer Registers After Wakeup

Revisions Affected

1.1, 1.2

Details

If a general-purpose timer (GPTimer) is in posted mode (TSICR [2].POSTED=1), due to internal resynchronizations, values read in the TCRR, TCAR1 and TCAR2 registers right after the timer interface clock (L4) goes from stopped to active may not return the expected values. The most common event leading to this situation occurs upon wakeup from idle.

GPTimer non-posted synchronization mode is not impacted by this limitation.

Workaround

For reliable counter read upon wakeup from IDLE state, software needs to issue a non-posted read to get an accurate value. To get this non-posted read, TSICR [2].POSTED needs to be set to '0'.
