linux 4.1 sdk 2.00.02.11 ioctl latency



Hi,

I am seeing a variable latency on a spi transfer using ioctl. After the last spi clock, return from ioctl can take between 100us to 5ms. I am measuring the latency by toggling a gpio line before and after the ioctl call. I am hitting an unexpected speed ceiling for multiple spi device accesses.

Can anyone suggest how to reduce this latency.

My platform is a beaglebone black.

Look forward to hear from you

best regards
