Hi, Is there any way of obtaining the number of elapsed timer ticks from the seL4 kernel (using ARM / BeagleBoard platform)? I know the kernel uses this information internally for the scheduler, but I couldn't find any way of accessing it from userland.
Specifically, my usage scenario is as follows. Two mutually distrustful programs are running, and each wants to run an action periodically. We want to temporally isolate the two programs using seL4 time domains. In this case, interacting with the hardware timer in userland seems difficult, since we want to get the updated time whenever a new timer tick arrives, but the userland device driver for the timer can only operate in exactly one of the seL4 time domains. Please let me know if I am misunderstanding something or if there might be a better way to approach this situation. Thanks, Will _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] https://sel4.systems/lists/listinfo/devel
