The prescaler value is arbitrarily set to 1024 without any regard to the timer frequency. For 32-bit timers, there is no need to set a prescaler value as they wrap in an acceptable interval and give the opportunity to have precise timers on this platform. However, for 16-bit timers a prescaler value is needed if we don't want to wrap too often per second which is inefficient and adds more and more error margin. With a targeted clock of 10MHz, the 16 bits are precise enough whatever the timer frequency is as we will compute the prescaler.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
