hi all,
I am a new user of rt-linux.
I sucessfully patched the rt-linux kernel and ran the example programes
listed.My ultimate aim is to write a driver to an io-card in order to
control a motor.
The getting started text mentions four clocks used.What do they
mean? (ie do they mean they are syncronised with the internal cpu clock or
the system clock )? can we use either one
of the four and what are the functions used in specifing it's type(is
there a default type? should be right!!).further i did a few experiments
and found that for a periodic task what can be specified is not it's
period but it's dormant time.(i did this by changing the 'period' in
pthread_make_periodic..by the way is there any way of reducing the
dormant time to 0.can't do this by reducing the value of the period). Is
there any way around this have we to design the programe such that its
active time is less.
Also in using pthread_setperiod_np(thread,its)
how do you set 'it_interval' and 'it_value' variables. The getting
started
text does not mention this.
need reply soon.
