[Xenomai-help] Xenomai on Crusoe TM5900

[Pierre Ficheux <pierre.ficheux@domain.hid>]

Hi all,

I try to use Xenomai on TM5900 CPU:

Kernel is 2.6.28.9
Xenomai is 2.4.8

First configuration (CONFIG_HPET_TIMER is not set) gives lots of
overruns with latency program:

== Sampling period: 100 us
== Test mode: periodic user-mode task
== All results in microseconds
warming up...
RTT|  00:00:01  (periodic user-mode task, 100 us period, priority 99)
RTH|-----lat min|-----lat avg|-----lat max|-overrun|----lat best|---lat
worst
RTD|       4.493|      12.861|      25.111|       0|       4.493|
25.111
RTD|       9.057|      13.876|    1152.413|      37|       4.493|
1152.413
RTD|      12.180|      13.755|     640.259|      53|       4.493|
1152.413
RTD|      12.285|      13.924|     618.703|      70|       4.493|
1152.413
...

Please not I use CONFIG_HZ=250 as CONFIG_HZ=1000 freezes at boot time
system with "clocksource tsc unstable" message.


If I set HPET:

CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y

I have a very strange message when starting latency:

Xenomai: native skin or CONFIG_XENO_OPT_PERVASIVE disabled.
(modprobe xeno_native?)

Of course native skin is present and CONFIG_XENO_OPT_PERVASIVE enabled

CONFIG_XENO_SKIN_NATIVE=y
CONFIG_XENO_OPT_PERVASIVE=y

Any idea?

Thx by advance.
