The problem is only when I use Xenomai linking flags and only with thestart time. Period is OK. That aprox. 16s time delay can be "compensated" by substracting of any number of seconds from the start time.     // Create timer     timer_fd = timerfd_create(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, 0);     // Get current time     struct timespec start;     clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start);     // Set periodic     struct itimerspec timer_conf;     memset(&timer_conf, 0, sizeof (timer_conf));     timer_conf.it_value = timespec_add(start, -15 * NANOSEC_PER_SEC); // compensation of the delay     ...     timerfd_settime(timer_fd, TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME, &timer_conf, NULL); There is strange unexpected difference/time shift between product of clock_gettime and timerfd_settime. Only with Xenomai posix wrappers.
