Hi,

I tested today Xenomai on my AMD64 (32-bit mode) with the latency
program from the testsuite and I got for lat min negative values.

Can my computer predict the future? :)

Of course, the timer is programmed a bit in advance taking into account some average latency, like code run time, HW latencies, etc. It is system dependent.

How can I interpret these values?

Add the value listed by 'cat /proc/xenomai/latency` to the above figures or set the latency to "1 ns" with 'echo "1" > /proc/xenomai/latency'.
