Timers in Montavista Linux using Power PC

Jul 31, 2003 0 Replies

Hello,



I have to design a real time system with a sub 10 ms accuracy using Montavista Linux. There will be an interrupt generated every 1 ms from the hardware.



Is it possible to set the Montavista Kernel HZ variable to 1000 (1 ms interrupt)? So what I am asking is if the tick in the Montavista Kernel can be redefined ...



I need to design Timers - I need to decide whether I will be using the kernel timers - or not.



Additionally how do I need an event generated when a timer interval of (1/2) ms expires - Is it possible to do with a 1 ms timer interrupt ?



Thanks a million
