<a name="l2"></a>

<a name="l3"></a>It has 3 channels:

We set it up in </span><a href="https://zeal-operating-system.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/KMain.CC.html#l116"><span class=cF4>TimerInit</span></a><span class=cF0>(), and use it in </span><a href="https://zeal-operating-system.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/KMisc.CC.html#l22"><span class=cF4>SysTimerRead</span></a><span class=cF0>().

<a name="l6"></a>
|
|
<a name="l7"></a>Channel 1 was used historically to refresh the DRAM, but now it is obsolete as the hardware does this itself. Channel 1 is
|
|
<a name="l8"></a>useless and might not even be implemented anymore on modern machines.

<a name="l11"></a>

<a name="l12"></a>The Command port is used to control each of these 3 channels. The relevant </span><a href="https://zeal-operating-system.github.io/ZealOS/Kernel/KernelA.HH.html#l690"><span class=cF4>flags</span></a><span class=cF0> are defined.
