-== Introduction ==
-The '''ARM Generic Timer''' is a per-core implemented one-shot timer, built into the CPU (all Raspberry Pi models, memory mapped parts only on ARM Quad A7 CPUs, RPi2 and upwards).
-Counters and frequency can be read using CNTP_CVAL (physical counter), CNTV_CVAL (virtual counter) and CNTP_FREQ (clock frequency) system registers. For IRQ routing, frequency setup and prescaler configuration the MMIO registers' address starts at 0x40000000.
-This timer can operate on a CPU clock relative freqency (APB) and on a fixed crystal clock freqency (19.2MHz with a prescaler) as well, depending on configuration.
