I see. Thanks for the info.

So by default, the root task has complete control over physical address containing gpt data.
And if I want to use the gpt inside a different task, the root task has to pass its capability to that task.
Without that, any non-root task wouldnt be able to access it.

Am I understanding the timer's capability access control correctly?

Thanks Anna. 

We are looking for a way to get timestamp (wall clock) that can be used in the userland for authenticating an incoming message from remote server. 

I see that the real-time clock driver is not implemented yet but an accurate timer would do the job too.

So any recommendation on which timer implementation to use?
Would this one work? https://github.com/seL4/libsel4platsupport/blob/master/src/mach/imx/timer.c

Thanks,

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any real time clock implementation for I.MX6 in sel4.

And if there isnt any, what would be the best way to use a timer in sel4 (since I saw many implementations of those)?
through sel4platsupport_get_default_timer?

Best,
Oak
