| ================ |
| This module provides a pw_chrono backend suitable for use with an RP2040-based |
| board (e.g. Raspberry Pi Pico). This backend works with baremetal operation of |
| a Pi Pico, and may be suitable for RTOS contexts with some additional |
| configuration of the RTOS timer settings. |

| SystemClock backend |
| ------------------- |
| The ``pw_chrono_rp2040:system_clock`` backend target implements the |
| ``pw_chrono:system_clock`` facade by using the Pico SDK's time API. This is |
| backed by a 64-bit hardware timer that reports time-since-boot as microseconds. |
| As the peripheral API in the Pico SDK expects microseconds, this is the most |
| appropriate clock to use when interacting with peripherals. |
| |
| See the :ref:`module-pw_chrono` documentation for ``pw_chrono`` for more |
| information on what functionality this provides. |
