So did you use the low latency Patch and threads with Sched_FIFO? Did your system slow down to noticable amounts? I built a driver for an intersil light sensor and this one has some issues with the amount of time that elapses between succesive reads of the reg values. So I may or may not need th

It seems that the SCHED_FIFO and 'low latency desktop' fixed the situation. Now I have 200uS latency, which is sufficient. Thank you Rob On Apr 20, 11:53 am, robstoddard wrote: > I considered polling.  I'll give it a shot. > > I am at current removed from DSOs and logic analyzers (just order

I considered polling. I'll give it a shot. I am at current removed from DSOs and logic analyzers (just ordered one, it will be in tomorrow night) so I can't be absolutely sure of my current solution, since printks tend to slow things down to a crawl in my driver, but I think setting SCHED_FIFO in
