18.5.2 System Timer Reload value register
The SYST_RVR register is set to the value that will be loaded into the SysTick timer
whenever it counts down to zero. This register is loaded by software as part of timer
initialization. The SYST_CALIB register may be read and used as the value for
SYST_RVR register if the CPU is running at the frequency intended for use with the
SYST_CALIB value.
18.5.3 System Timer Current value register
The SYST_CVR register returns the current count from the System Tick counter when it is
read by software.
