Re: [rtl] Getting current day and time under RTLinux

["Srinivasa A. Shikaripura" <srinivasa.shikaripura@wipro.com>]

I am not sure about the do_gettimeofday_nolock() call regarding
resolution and space/time efficiency.

My suggestion would be, you could use the high resolution timers
available with the processor. If you are using MPC8xx or Pentium 
class of processor, these high res timer registers are avilable.
You could read them to get nano-second precision.

Search in http://linux-mag.com/ article where one article which 
gives the assembly snipets of using these registers and discusses
cost effectiveness of such code.

Hope this helps,
