CYGPKG_HAL_I386_LINUX

The Linux i386 Synthetic Target HAL package provides the support needed to run eCos binaries on top of the i386 Linux kernel.

Option: Use Linux real-time timer

Macro name

CYGSEM_HAL_I386_LINUX_REAL_TIME

Boolean

Description

By default the eCos timer will driven by a virtual timer, meaning that it will only tick when the Linux task is executing. This prevents (to some degree) time skew in the eCos kernel due to heavy load on Linux. By checking this option, the eCos timer can be driven by the Linux real-time timer instead.
