Microseconds per tick

[Manuel Coutinho]

Hi

 

Yes, you can only ask RTEMS to wait (task wait, wait for semaphore, message
queue, etc) for an integer number of clock ticks. 

 

You should define the number of microseconds per tick as the greatest common
divisor (GCD) of all the time intervals you need. 

 

Example:

Task wake after for 10 000 us and semaphore wait for a maximum of 12 000 us
=> the GCD of these numbers is 2000 us. 

Therefore a clock tick should be 2000 us and the task should wake after 5
clock ticks and the semaphore for 6 clock ticks.

 

Kind regards

Manuel Coutinho

Hi, 

somebody will correct me if i am wrong. 

RTEMS time functionality operates with clock_tics granularity, for instance
that a task can only sleep for a integer number of clock ticks. 

e.g. 
#define CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK 20000 /* 20 ms per clock tick */ 


Best regards, 

Aitor
