the function basically returns the value of a timer, and can be used as a timing reference \"with wraparound\".

It is used to implement the EDF/FRSH kernels, which uses deadlines that are \"not to far away\" from the current time. Please take a look at the FRESCOR Deliverable distributed with the Nios II evrsion of erika at

http://www.evidence.eu.com/download/nio ... -EP7v2.pdf

and at the EDF instructions available on the manuals...

Ciao,

PJ
