Before I start looking at details, please check the consistency of your local Xenomai clock with this brand new tool: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/xenomai/trunk/src/testsuite/clocktest/clocktest.c?view=markup (you don't have to switch to trunk, just grab the source and compile manually) In case the Linux clock is not screwed up as well, you can check for potential drifts and cross-cpu wraps that way. > > When a cycle is supposed to be 5ms it is calculated to be 8.4ms > > When I want a rt_timer_spin of 0.750ms, result is a 1.27ms burning period. > > So a constant difference between effective and calculated time around +60%. > > Maybe there something wrong in my program but I don't know what. > Also, I have read some threads that mentionned time problem and > /proc/xenomai/latency value. > I didn't understand everything. > Any suggestion ? > > > Thanks in advance. > > Niry > Jan
