Hi,

we do not have enough details here, if you are compiling for the native
skin, the call to clock_gettime is linux clock_gettime, so, can not
really be relied upon in a thread which you with to remain in primary
mode. You should use rt_timer_read.

If you are compiling for the posix skin, you do not give us enough
information to even begin understanding the issue you have .

Regards.
