-<p class="Pp">This driver uses i8254 Programmable Interval Timer (AT Timer)
- hardware to supply the kernel with one timecounter and one event timer, and
- to generate sound tones for the system speaker. This hardware includes three
- channels. Each channel includes a 16 bit counter which decreases with a
- known, platform-dependent frequency. Counters can operate in several
- different modes, including periodic and one-shot. The output of each channel
- has platform-defined wiring: one channel is wired to the interrupt
- controller and may be used as event timer, one channel is wired to the
- speaker and used to generate sound tones, and one timer is reserved for
- platform purposes.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">attimer</code> driver uses a single hardware
- channel to provide both time counter and event timer functionality. To make
- this possible, the respective counter must be running in periodic mode. As a
- result, the one-shot event timer mode is supported only when time counter
- functionality is disabled.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The event timer provided by the driver is irrelevant to CPU power
- states.</p>
