Hello list! I have to write a Xenomai 2.6.4 thread that is activated upon the expiration of a (periodic) timer. It is not clear to me how to do that without switching to secondary mode.
I would like to stick with the POSIX skin but, in my understanding, with the POSIX skin, using the `timer_create()` and `timer_settime()` I will switch to secondary mode on timer expiration, because a signal is generated by that event. Is it correct? On the other hand, the switching to secondary mode does not happens using the Native Xenomai API, i.e. `rt_alarm_create()` and `rt_alarm_start()`. Am I wrong? What are the options available for that purpose? Should I use the `pthread_make_periodic_np()` instead? What are the differences wrt `timer_*` calls? Thank you for the support and kind regards, Giorgio B. _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
