Not sure. Having a higher resolution system clock can be quite useful<br>
since it allows you to use finer-grained timeouts (on semaphores,
queues, sockets, ...)<br>
or RTEMS timers etc. which can be desirable.<br>
<br>
I have started to use a 1kHz clock by default on our MVME6100 boards<br>
(1GHz powerpc) without noticeable impact on CPU load.<br>

<div>I agree with Robert: if you can generate interrupts at the
frequency you need, _without_ using system's "ticks", that's the better
approach. Hopefully your ADC hardware can generate interrupts upon
conversion, or upon a "high-water-mark", or something similar...</div>

<div>If that's not an option, you may be able to use one of the spare

<br>
In my opinion, I wouldn't run the RTEMS with a clock tick like that, I
would find a way to generate an external interrupt based on a hardware
timer. I have successfully run RTEMS on a 40 MHz LEON2, with no
changes to the RTEMS clock ticks, to accept a 16 KHz interrupt signal
for a fuzzy logic control loop to control a gimbal. Worked very well.

<br>
I would like to know your thoughts regarding common practices for an
RTEMS system requiring a 5 KHz sample rate. The hardware is 600MHz
i386/PC-104 based. Reading through the RTEMS C users guide the Rate
Monotonic Scheduler appears to be what I'm interested in. Basically I
need to read inputs from hardware, filter and process results, then
write outputs with a period of 200 us.<br>
<br>
I understand I can set the RTEMS system clock ticks to get this
resolution. My question is, is this a common and recommend practice for
this kind of sample rate? Or do people favor using on-board
programmable interrupt timers for this purpose? Is using an external
interrupt timer on the pci bus a common practice if your SBC doesn't
provide any timers?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any input.<br>
