This is pretty cool! Good work! I have a question - what would the maximum ISR rate be for a rising edge of a square wave sampled on one of the GPIO pins? At the link: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=33113 Its quoted to be 10,000 events per second using a standard ISR. Of

Erik, Just for the purposes of edification (and curiosity), are you able to elaborate on "long reads"? Its understandable such a scheme would be implemented in the network drivers, but how exactly does it work, as opposed to a polling scheme or an ISR? I will, of course, Google in a sec as well.

Re: [9fans] "gpio device" for Plan 9

Certainly, that answers my question. Of things interrelated, I wish to sample a 10kHz square wave into a GPIO, which I am certain the RPi will do, see my earlier post with link to RPi forums. This will be a constant signal (an output of a GPSDO, with potentially a rubidium oscillator backup). So w

So, in effect, a 1PPS signal would be sufficient to clock second to second? I suppose it could be, there would be little drift in the oscillator per the second. As for NTP, this has been suggested to me, and I acknowledge its place, certainly. However, I do not wish to tie up network resources in

t could not be disciplined as such, but the CPUs time, in respect to the output of the oscillator, could be maintained, and regulated with the 1PPS. Over a second timespan, and updated every second, drift would be infinitesimally small. On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 10:16 AM, Shane Morris wrote: > My apolog
