Hi,
Never had any issue with 32K and gettimeofday() on Panda (but just starting to
use clock_gettime()). It was used to timestamp events happening every few ms or
100s of us.
I would advise as a check:
- read clock_gettime()/gettimeofday() and in parallel 32K register (map and
read physical address 0x4A304010) to check behaviour.
- There is potential issue (that we have never seen) when reading 32K register.
Worked around by calling clock_gettime()/gettimeofday() twice (we never do that
and still it works so ...)
We have been doing tests in the past like while(1) {gettimeofday();
printf("time ...")} and it worked correctly, exhibiting the 30.5us accuracy
Regards

Hrm. So 30us is still much smaller then the 2.5ms you were seeing. So
that doesn't fully explain the behavior.
thanks
