Hi,

Could anyone tell me which Xenomai function should I use to wait (even 
up to 100msecs) without burning CPU. I tried using nanosleep() but it 
was always returning with 1 (one) and analyzing my output pins with an 
oscilloscope I couldn't see any time delays. Now I use rt_timer_spin() 
but I'm not sure whether I'm doing any wrong to my rt threads (or anyone 
else in the kernel). My environment: a kernel driver with lots of rt 
threads controlling stepper motors. The function where I want to wait is 
a work_struct task (called by a schedule_work). Thanks.
