Returns

• sl_status_t Status code indicating the result:

  • SL_STATUS_OK - Success, timer clock-source parameters configured properly.

  • SL_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER - Timer clock type or timer clock source values are invalid.

  • SL_STATUS_NULL_POINTER - The parameter is a null pointer

sl_status_t sl_si91x_ulp_timer_configure_clock (ulp_timer_clk_src_config_t * timer_clk_ptr)

To configure and enable the ULP-Timer input clock source.

This API configures the clock frequency, clock type, enables/disables synchronization to ULPSS pclk, and determines whether to skip/allow waiting for timer clock switching. This function is invoked within the sl_si91x_ulp_timer_init API.
