Register OST_TIM1_RL
Bits Name Description
31:2 reload_val Value loaded into ost_tim1. bits 1 and 0 will be 00.
Note: As the counter counts to zero writing a value of X to these bits will
generate interrupts at intervals of (X*4)+1 cycles.
1 tim1_one_shot
The one shot control bit specifies what action should be taken when the general-
purpose down counter reaches zero. If the one-shot control bit is set to zero,
the counter will load the reload value and continue to count down after reaching
a value of zero. If the one-shot control bit is set to one the counter will load the
“reload value register” and stop counting.
0 tim1_enable The cnt_enable register controls whether the counter is enabled for counting.
When set to one the counter is enabled.
