Hello,
We are using same BSP , Gentoo 3.18.11 rt7, with 2 different hadrwares:
1. kontron board
2. portwell board.
Both use came cpu intel i7.
Yet, the results are totally different with the same testing.
In kontron the error is 11usec, while in portwell it is 2000usec .
Testing is done using:
https://github.com/nma/preempt-rt/blob/master/test-rt.c
Is there any idea, how to start investigating such issue ?
Thank you,
Ranran

Hi Ran,

I just noticed this:
#define MY_PRIORITY (49) /* we use 49 as the PRREMPT_RT use 50
as the priority of kernel tasklets
and interrupt handler by default */
...
param.sched_priority = MY_PRIORITY;
if(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m) == -1) {
perror("sched_setscheduler failed");
exit(-1);
}
...
The man page on sched_setscheduler:
SCHED_FIFO a first-in, first-out policy; and
SCHED_RR a round-robin policy.
For each of the above policies, param->sched_priority specifies
a scheduling priority for the thread. This is a number in the
range returned by calling sched_get_priority_min(2) and
sched_get_priority_max(2) with the specified policy. On Linux,
these system calls return, respectively, 1 and 99.
Thus you should pick a priority higher then the default IRQ thread
priorities, e.g. 51 should do the trick.
Thanks,
Daniel

That's interesting.
I've assumed that the test founded in git is a good tool for testing
the real-time.
If this is the case, it probably means that is using a more standard
tool for rt-test like cyclictest, would have been better.
Anyway, I will try your suggestion.
If it shows improvement than it probably mean that in that board
(portwell) there is some high IRQ inputs from some input device.
Anyway, after checking as you suggested, I'll have more information.
Thank you,
Ran

Yes, it rules out one of the variables in the equation. Though
cyclictest has a lot of option which is also source of confusion.
Thanks,
