part of this task involves investigating whether this should even exist or not, so be ready for that possibility!
fairly simple module, though investigation could require some mild effort
Provide an interface for reading the hardware timer, which counts up from 0 to basically track system time . This was the millis_() thing last year.
Interface:
timer_get_ms() : returns current time in ms
Components: none really, once the hardware timer is set up it runs on its own
Things to figure out:
do we actually need this? freertos has xtaskgettickcount() which returns time since startup too. this uses a hardware timer too. The main difference from the millis_() timer is that we set up millis to have more granular measurements, but u should be able to use that for freertos too idk. Investigate what level of precision we need, and if freertos ticks is accurate enough for our purposes
