The BIOS System Tick timers have been added for the IPU and DSP remoteproc devices on all the OMAP4-based Panda boards. The following DMTimers are chosen: IPU : GPT3 (SMP-mode) DSP : GPT5 IPU has two Cortex-M3 processors, and is currently expected to be running in SMP-mode, so only a single timer suffices to provide the BIOS tick timer. An additional timer should be added for the second processor in IPU if it were to be run in non-SMP mode. The timer value also needs to be unique from the ones used by other processors so that they can be run simultaneously. The timers are optional, but are mandatory to support device management features such as power management and watchdog support. The above are added to successfully boot and execute firmware images configured with the respective timers, images that use internal processor subsystem timers are not affected. The timers can be changed or removed as per the system integration needs, alongside equivalent changes on the firmware side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
