AM1810 RT Linux IO interrupt response time

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1810

Hi,

 

I was looking at the SDK for the AM1810 and I saw that the linux is a real time linux with the real time patch included.

 

I was wondering if anyone know the minimal IO interrupt latency we can reach with this Linux? Are we talking microsecond or millisecond?

 

Thanks,

Jerome

  • Jerome,

    we have seen 250us as best case for task cycle latencies on ARM9 platforms so far. This is tested with cyclictest and does give you the time to switch tasks.

    For I/O interrupt latency we have not done any measurements. But if the interrupt is served by a user task you should see at least that time I think.

    Regards.

  • Thanks for your answer. So I must forget this option. I want to respond to an interrupt, fetch some data in memory, compute this data and toglle an IO inside 100us.

     

    I think ill go with SYS/BIOS. My only concern is the in field upgrade for this kind of RTOS. There's no "bootloader" like im used in linux.
