The PSVita system embeds 8 Word timers (SceWT0 to SceWT7) and 6 Longrange timers (SceLT0 to SceLT5). The timers are counters incremented every ?microsecond?, can generate an interrupt when a certain value is reached or simply increase forever.
Most timers are managed by SceSystimer.
Available timers
The Address column indicates the physical address at which the interface for a timer is located.
Each timer interface takes 0x1000 bytes.
| Name | Address | Interrupt ID | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| SceLT0 / SceSystimerLongrangeTimer0 | 0xE20B1000 | 0x88 | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceLT1 / SceSystimerLongrangeTimer1 | 0xE20B2000 | 0x89 | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceLT2 / SceSystimerLongrangeTimer2 | 0xE20B3000 | 0x8A | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceLT3 / SceSystimerLongrangeTimer3 | 0xE20B4000 | 0x8B | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceLT4 / SceSystimerLongrangeTimer4 | 0xE20B5000 | 0x8C | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceLT5 | 0xE20B6000 | 0x8D | Used by SceKernelThreadMgr as CPU timer |
| SceWT0 / SceSystimerWordTimer0 | 0xE20B7000 | 0x80 | Available for SceSystimer |
| SceWT1 / SceSystimerWordTimer1 | 0xE20B8000 | 0x81 | Available for SceSystimer |

| SceWT7 / SceTimerForUsleep | 0xE20BE000 | 0x87 | Used by Tzs SceKernelIntrMgr for usleep - ?may be accessible in Secure state only? |
Word Timers
Timers with 32-bit counters.
typedef volatile _SceWordTimer {
SceUInt32 unk0; // Value at which an interrupt is triggered?
SceUInt32 unk4; // Current value of the timer counter?
SceUInt32 unk8; // Configuration register?
SceUInt32 unkC; // Another counter?
SceUInt32 unk10; // Unused?
SceUInt32 unk14; // Write 0x3 to clear interrupt?
// Unused?
SceUInt32 unk18;
SceUInt32 unk1C;
SceUInt32 unk20;
} SceWordTimer;Long Timers
Timers with 64-bit counters.
typedef volatile _SceLongTimer {
SceKernelSysClock unk0; // Current value of the timer counter?
SceKernelSysClock unk8; // Value at which an interrupt is triggered?
SceKernelSysClock unk10; // Another counter?
SceUInt32 unk18; // Write 0x3 to clear interrupts?
SceUInt32 unk1C; // Configuration register?
SceUInt32 unk20; // Unused
} SceLongTimer;NOTE: on the PSVita CPU, 64-bit accesses are not guaranteed to be atomic. This can lead to issues when reading the timer if the low word of a counter is about to overflow. To ensure the readings from a timer are accurate, use code similar to the following code:
//Return value should hopefully be optimized into registers
SceKernelSysClock readCounter(volatile SceKernelSysClock* pTimerCounter) {
SceKernelSysClock ctr;
SceUInt32 ctrHi;
do {
ctr.hi = pTimeCounter->hi; //Read high word first
ctr.lo = pTimeCounter->lo; //Read low word next
ctrHi = pTimeCounter->hi; //Read high word again to make sure no overflow happened
} while (timerVal.hi != timerValHi); //Try again if high word changed while reading low word
return ctr;
}Configuration register
