Re: [rtl] Weird scheduling problem

[Victor Yodaiken <yodaiken@fsmlabs.com>]

What version of RTLinux?
Can you describe the code in more detail?
Try with a simpler design

	A:
	while(1){
	         sem_wait(s);
		 do something 
		 }


       B:
                while(1){
		   do something
		   sem_post(s);
		   clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, ns2ts(10000));
		   }
