Maximum attainable delay with Micro controller

I need to generate delays for one hour, two hours, etc. What is the maximum possible delay that can be generated in the STM32F207 controller?

Also, what is the procedure for the implementation using any of the timers available in the STM32F207 controller?

Answer 1

Any microcontroller can create any delay. If a timer overflows increment a counter. If that counter overflow, increment another one. 128 bits is infinity.
