RTAI Latency tests

To test the latency use RTAIs build in test program. On the computer to test, go to

/usr/realtime/testsuite/kern/latency

Then insert the module and run the 'display' program:

insmod latency_rt.ko
./display

The program should produce an ouput like this:

## RTAI latency calibration tool ##
# period = 100000 (ns) 
# avrgtime = 1 (s)
# do not use the FPU
# start the timer
# timer_mode is oneshot

Watch the the overrun counter does not increase from zero. The program is stopped by SIGINT (ctrl+c). Remember to unload the module when done.

rmmod latency_rt.ko

CPU time test

In order to verify that rt_get_time_ns() and rt_get_cpu_time_ns() gives the same results use the program p13. The program is compiled by

gcc -Wall -o p13 p13.c -I/usr/realtime/include -L/usr/realtime/lib -llxrt -lpthread

Output
