I want to introduce a delay in my code. The delay can be in nanoseconds up to milliseconds. My current apporach using _timeout_ function with a callback has a lowest resolution of 10ms, which is too coarse for my purpose.
For very short waits then you may want to busy-wait; look at drv_usecwait().
Then I discovered that there are cyclics that can be created using timer_create function. According to the online manual, using argument CLOCK_HIGHRES should give me the desired resolution. If this is true then I only have one more problem: I would really like to connect a callback function/routine (in C) to this timer in the same way I used the timeout. Reading the manual pages didn't give me any answers or examples regarding how to do this, so I hope someone here can help me.
I didn't think cyclics were 'officially' documented yet. If you want to attach a callback to be kicked off by a cyclic then I guess you'll need to come up with your own mechanism.
