JP 02:48 PM Software Development: RE: ClockPeriod
Rob,
With regards to the syspage, I was hoping to see values change after changing the ClockPeriod. Sections relating to time and clocks seemed like good candidates. If the x86 shows changes in one way and the omap shows changes in a ...

John,
I just tried the above mentioned change, and as you suspected it did not fix the problem but was worth a try.
Regarding the pidin info, could you let me know what section of the syspage you would like to see. I did capture th...

John,
We have tried using ClockCycles(). I think it may be working for us but will check with the other developers to make sure.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
I see your point.
We have not provided the arm clock handling routines so in that sense, this would seem to be the arm-specific part of QNX. My understanding though, is that the kernel gets things like device specific handling...

John,
Actually, the point I was trying to make is that changing the system tick using ClockPeriod confuses the OS concept of time, which shouldn't happen. Using the attached program this is what happens:
# ./clock_period
ClockPer...

Rob,
I don't have experience trying to change the clock period. The documentation does seem to indicate that making the period very small can result in significant overhead in the system from all the interrupts. (see clock_setres() a...

Rob,
I don't know of a feature like this. I have always just used the CLOCK_REALTIME.

RG 05:08 PM Software Development: ClockPeriod
Hello,
I am having problems changing the system clock period using the QNX BSP. When I try to change it using the ClockPeriod function, it sets a value that confuses QNX as to the correct time. For example, if I try to change the pe...

RG 02:30 PM Software Development: QNX BSP Timers
Hello,
I have a need for a timer that supports a higher resolution than QNX CLOCK_REALTIME. It will be used for high accuracy timestamps, but probably will not need to drive an interrupt.
Is a feature like this already supported i...
