When a timer needs to be updated – indicating that an interface or function is still alive and timeout should be delayed – there are two means of touching a timer:
The preferred method for touching timers is using the SET bit of TIMERMGR_CONTROL_j_k. It is considerably more efficient. The reprogramming RAM is a single port RAM, and repeated writes to the TIMERMGR_SETUP_j_k registers will impact overall timer performance and may result in longer periods before a valid timeout is observed.
