Using Linux based OMAP3530 in a real-time application

Dear Community

My question pertains to a real-time application of an OMAP 3530 based target running Linux.  What I am proposing to do essentially is split the CPU in half;  taking the general purpose timer, and I will dedicate half the the ticks that would normally be delivered to Linux scheduler to my application, and leaving the other half for Linux.  Respectively, I will make HZ=HZ/2 to preserve the Linux time sense.  If I keep my time quantum in my application significantly shorter than 1/HZ, does this change make sense?  Will it cause any major problems in my implementation?  I sincerely appreciate the feedback.

Regards,

Eric Texley
