[Tinyos Core WG] Platform independent capture-component

[Martin Leopold]

Hi Core.
About a month ago I asked a question regarding the relationship between
timers and capture. This time I have some more general questions on
capture:

* I would like to make a platform-independent (or close to) application
that uses some form of capture. As far as I can tell there is not much
to help me do this in T2 right now. Is there a reason for this? Ie. is
it to platform specific to generalize?

* The most general interface I can find is GpioCapture which chooses a
width of 16 bit for time-base. This may not be enough for my purpose and
it would be nice to be able to use the 32-bit wide timer units. Though
these would be emulated on many platform, I can't imagine it would be to
hard to make it work. This of course touches on my previous question
(which timebase of multiple timebases is in fact referred to by
capture).
