Honored Contributorwhat is the sys_clk_timer and timestamp_timer in bsp editor
Hi all, I am new in using the Nios II sbt tool. When i generate the BSP, in the bsp editor, there is sys_clk_timer and timerstamp_timer option for me to choose. Anyone can explain why we need to specify it or any function on specifying it? What happen if i set both of it to none?

Hi..thanks. I have read the manual. If I have not assign any timer core in qsys to sys_clk_timer and timestamp_timer, does it mean that the consequences is i cannot use the function like alt_nticks, settimeofday() and etc?
