It is possible to configure the +first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers. +A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at +. + +The driver supports detection of HPET driver allocation and initialization +of the HPET before the driver module_init routine is called. This enables +platform code which uses timer 0 or 1 as the main timer to intercept HPET +initialization. An example of this initialization can be found in +arch/i386/kernel/time_hpet.c. + +The driver provides two APIs which are very similar to the API found in +the rtc.c driver. There is a user space API and a kernel space API. +An example user space program is provided below. + +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include + + +extern void hpet_open_close(int, const char **);
