You may not choose the real-time clock for Lab 7.
The E100 provides a free-running, real-time clock. Every 1/8000 second (.125 ms), the real-time clock value increases by 1. You can read the current value of the real-time clock by reading the real-time clock's device register.
ase100 simulates the real-time clock accurately enough for you to test your device driver and to run assembly-language programs.
