Microsecond (or one ms) time resolution on an embedded device (Linux Kernel)
- by ChrisDiRulli
Hey guys,
I have a kernel module I've built that requires at least 1 ms time resolution. I currently use do_gettimeofday() but I'm concerned that this won't work once I move my module to an embedded device. The device has a 180 Mz processor (MIPS) and the default HZ value in the kernel is 100. Thus using jiffies will only give me at best 10 ms…
