ERC32 ticks

Hi,

I'm trying to run some simple examples based on timers and there are  
some things I don't quite understand.

I've seen that the ERC32 BSP uses the RTC as the clock driver, which  
is in charge of calling rtems_clock_tick() (from the ISR) which  
increments the internal tick counters (TOD, Watchdog, ...).  
Everything fine, by now.

Then, I've used the rtems_clock_get with  
RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TICKS_SINCE_BOOT to get the current ticks since boot,  
and it has returned me 100 (I haven't configured anything). Is this  
correct? With this value I can't even have millisecond precision,  
thus calling RTEMS_MILLISECONDS_TO_TICKS (1234) I get 123 ticks,  
which is correct for the 100 ticks given, but doesn't make much sense.

This might be obvious, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

aleix
