You know as well as me that this description of the problem is
inaccurate, what really happens is that the timer is programmed but does
not tick. What you have to do now is try and understand what is the
difference between the way xenomai and linux handle the timer to
understand what cause it not to work in xenomai case. If I were you, to
understand this difference, I would start by dumping all timer registers
values at the time when the problem is detected, that is, before the
timer is programmed again. But I am afraid I can not give you more help,
ultimately you are the one which is doing the port to imx25, so you are
on your own.
