init_qtime()

QNX SDP8.0Building Embedded SystemsConfigurationDeveloper

Initialize the qtime data structure in the system page.

Synopsis:

#include "board_startup.h"
				
void init_qtime (void)

Arguments:

None.

Description:

This function initializes the system page's qtime data structure. Initializations this function performs can include:

  • mapping in timer registers using startup_io_map()
  • specifying which counter to use for the system timer tick
  • initializing timer hardware to generate an interrupt on terminal count

For many x86 platforms, the generic function works. For ARM platforms, board-specific functions are often required.
