Since timers are a limited resource, the use of two timers could be an issue on some systems. - The job could be done with a single timer if, for example, the single timer were kept in a free-running at all times. Some timer/counters (such as the Atmel SAMA5's timer), for example, have the capability to generate a compare interrupt when the timer matches a comparison value but also to continue counting without stopping. if your hardware supports such counters, one might be able to simply set the comparison count at the value of the free running timer PLUS the desired delay. Then you could have both with a single timer: An interval timer and a free-running counter with the same timer! + The job could be done with a single timer if, for example, the single timer were kept in a free-running at all times.

In addition to these imported interfaces, the RTOS will export the following interfaces for use by the platform-specific interval timer implementation:
