I was posting a fiq test about 2 weeks ago in linux-arm-kernel. I got a
frequency up to about 500kHz with that solution. Should work as a pwm with
1 khz with no problem. I don't have the sourcecode right now, but I can
send it - if you don't find it on the mailinglist - later this week.

gpio speed

Hello,
We are making a demo on an Intrinsyc development board that has a
StrongARM SA1110. OS is HardHat Linux. We want to use a GPIO pin as a PWM.
Using this PWM we can make a backlight by switching some LEDs.
We already tried using the kernel timers of linux, but they were too slow
to make a decent PWMfrequency (100Hz max gave a flickering backlight). We
experimented with threads yesterday, but they are apparently also dependent
of the kernel timers.
Using microdelay is also not an option since it occupies the processor, so
nothing else can be done during the waiting time.
What we are looking for is a way to switch a GPIO pin as fast as possible
in the background of an application. We want to implement all this in a
module.
any ideas or suggestions?
