- * @addtogroup GTIMER
- * @details The GTIMER module provides high level, simple and hardware
- * independend timers. The timers are meant to be used in different
- * ChibiOS/GFX modules and are not very accurate.
- *
- * @details The reason why ChibiOS/GFX has it's own timer abstraction is because
- * virtual timers provided by ChibiOS/RT are interrupt context only.
- * While great for what they are designed for, they make coding of the input
- * drivers much more complex.
- * For non-performance critical drivers like these input drivers, it would also
- * hog an in-ordinate amount of critical (interrupt locked) system time.
- * This contrary to the goals of a real-time operating system. So a user-land
- * (thread based) timer mechanism is also required.
