Hi,
When i compiled the following program , (taken from
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/rtc.txt )
(See attached file: rtc2.c)
it gave me the following error:
[root@msatuts1 timer1]# gcc -s -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes rtc2.c -o rtc2
In file included from rtc2.c:17:
/usr/include/linux/mc146818rtc.h:29: parse error before `rtc_lock'
/usr/include/linux/mc146818rtc.h:29: warning: data definition has no type or
storage class
rtc2.c:25: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
[root@msatuts1 timer1]#
Is this a bug?Can anyone tell me how to remove this parse error ?
With Regards,
--Niraj

Subject: RTC !!
Hi ,
The RTC interrupt is programmable from 2 Hz to 8192 Hz, in powers of 2. So the
interrupts that you
could get are one of the following: 0.122ms, .244ms, .488ms, .977ms,
1.953ms, 3.906ms, 7.813ms, and so on. Is there any workaround , so that i
can use RTC
for meeting my requirement of an interrupt every 1.666..ms!! ( I know that i
can use UTIME or #define HZ 600, but i want to know if i can use RTC for this
purpose )
With Regards,
--Niraj

Hi
instead of modifing the time irq freq you could try using the
realt time clock (rtc) it will generate irqs with better timing
and you also wont hit system performance as much by modifing the timer
ever time the timer send an irq some code is run to see it schedule need
to be called the more times schedule is called a second the worse the
system performance is because of the task switching overhead.
