Contribution description
This PR adds a simple implementation of
_gettimeofday_r
based on the microsecond system timer (system_get_time_64()
) without occupying a `TIMER_DEV.Since PR #18027, the ESP32 port uses the module
libc_gettimeofday
by default which enables implicitly modulesxtimer
andztimer_usec
which in turn occupiesTIMER_DEV(0)
.The changes in this PR
libc_gettimeofday
.tests/periph_timer
due toTIMER_DEV(0)
is ocuIn this implementation, the the microsecond system timer is realized on top of a peripheral timer. In future implementations of the ESP32 port, the microsecond hardware system timer will be used for that purpose.
