Subject: Programming the apic when no external to cpu timer is present?

I am working with an embedded testing board that has no timer external
to the cpu other than an rtc.  How does linux go about programming the
local cpu timer (apic) to raise hardware interrupts?

thanks for your patience,

brahan
