2.1.2 TimerInitialize()

TimerInitialize() is responsible for setting up a timer thread in the OCPP stack. This function activates and configures all necessary resources and parameters for executing timing operations, such as routine tasks, timeouts and delays.

Specifically, TimerInitialize() configures the timer's settings, including the time base (e.g., milliseconds or microseconds), which defines the duration of a single or multiple cycles. It also sets up the required interrupts or callbacks that trigger when the timer expires. Additionally, the function may handle memory allocation for timer-related data structures and system clock setup, ensuring the timer is ready to start or be triggered.
