time is a 64 bit value indicating the time in usec since power-on
timeh is the top 32 bits of time & timel is the bottom 32 bits
to change time write to timelw before timehw
to read time read from timelr before timehr
An alarm is set by setting alarm_enable and writing to the corresponding alarm register
When an alarm is pending, the corresponding alarm_running signal will be high
An alarm can be cancelled before it has finished by clearing the alarm_enable
When an alarm fires, the corresponding alarm_irq is set and alarm_running is cleared
To clear the interrupt write a 1 to the corresponding alarm_irq
Pointer to the register block
Return the pointer to the register block
Steal an instance of this peripheral
Ensure that the new instance of the peripheral cannot be used in a way that may race with any existing instances, for example by only accessing read-only or write-only registers, or by consuming the original peripheral and using critical sections to coordinate access between multiple new instances.
Additionally, other software such as HALs may rely on only one peripheral instance existing to ensure memory safety; ensure no stolen instances are passed to such software.
0x00 - Write to bits 63:32 of time
always write timelw before timehw
0x04 - Write to bits 31:0 of time
writes do not get copied to time until timehw is written
0x08 - Read from bits 63:32 of time
always read timelr before timehr
0x0c - Read from bits 31:0 of time
0x10 - Arm alarm 0, and configure the time it will fire.
Once armed, the alarm fires when TIMER_ALARM0 == TIMELR.
The alarm will disarm itself once it fires, and can
be disarmed early using the ARMED status register.
0x14 - Arm alarm 1, and configure the time it will fire.
Once armed, the alarm fires when TIMER_ALARM1 == TIMELR.
The alarm will disarm itself once it fires, and can
be disarmed early using the ARMED status register.
0x18 - Arm alarm 2, and configure the time it will fire.
Once armed, the alarm fires when TIMER_ALARM2 == TIMELR.
The alarm will disarm itself once it fires, and can
be disarmed early using the ARMED status register.
0x1c - Arm alarm 3, and configure the time it will fire.
Once armed, the alarm fires when TIMER_ALARM3 == TIMELR.
The alarm will disarm itself once it fires, and can
be disarmed early using the ARMED status register.
0x20 - Indicates the armed/disarmed status of each alarm.
A write to the corresponding ALARMx register arms the alarm.
Alarms automatically disarm upon firing, but writing ones here
will disarm immediately without waiting to fire.
0x24 - Raw read from bits 63:32 of time (no side effects)
0x28 - Raw read from bits 31:0 of time (no side effects)
0x2c - Set bits high to enable pause when the corresponding debug ports are active
0x30 - Set high to pause the timer
