Implementing a milisecond counter.

[arvindnr]

Hello

I was trying to implement a counter with a time out of 3 or 4 milliseconds in my project. Can any one suggest how to go about it? In the lwip library i can implement a counter with a 250 milli second resolution ( Using the tcp timer callback functions ) can any one suggest how to get a counter with 3 to 4 seconds resolution?

I figured it out! . Just in case of reference for any one who wants to know how to do this in the future here you go :

just follow those steps and once you have the cycle count , you can program the time out accordingly.
