Why more timers in 13.1 than 12.2?

Post by Caleb »

I have a USB audio project that was developed with 12.2. Linker reports Timers used 10+.

When I compile the same project in 13.1 it reports Timers used 12+

And of course this fails since there are 10 timers available.

I had a similar experience previously compiling this project with 13.0 - that added one additional timer. I asked a quetion at that time and Ross said this would be fixed in 13.0.1. 

Is there a workaround?

One issue is that the 13 tools share a timer hardware timer in a single core. However, the USB lib still allocates its own. This accounts for one of them atleast... will aim to get this fixed-up soon.
