What are you trying to measure? Is the resolution or the accuracy too
low?

You use a fixed M_OSC of 25 MHz, but this value actually depends on the
the board. The AM335x supports 19.2, 24 and 26 MHz in addition to 25
MHz.

The advantage of using dmtimer0 is that it is always available and runs
at 32KiHz on every board.

Jan
