Configuration Options

The SmartFusion Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) provides two programmable 32-bit decrementing counters that generate interrupts to the ARM Cortex-M3 and FPGA fabric. Each counter has two possible modes of operation: Periodic mode and One-shot mode. The two timers can be concatenated to create a 64-bit timer with Periodic and One-Shot modes.
The actual behavior of the SmartFusion MSS Timer instances must be defined at the application level using the SmartFusion MSS Timer Driver provided by Actel.
For more details about the MSS Timer hard peripheral, please refer to the Actel SmartFusion Microcontroller Subsystem User’s Guide.
