Hi, a "pthread_setschedparam" call of the code below terminates with an errno == 1 ... means "Operation not permitted" instance_l.fStopThread = FALSE; if (pthread_create(&instance_l.threadId, NULL, eventThread, (void*)&instance_l) != 0) goto Exit; schedParam.__sched_priority = KERNEL_EVENT_THREAD_PRIORITY; if (pthread_setschedparam(instance_l.threadId, SCHED_FIFO, &schedParam) != 0) { DEBUG_LVL_ERROR_TRACE("%s(): couldn't set thread scheduling parameters! %d\n", __func__, errno); } I'm using a PREEMPT_RT kernel 3.4.0-rc7-rt7-2.16 for SuSE 12.2 Milestone 2 (3.4.11-2.16). KERNEL_EVENT_THREAD_PRIORITY is 55! How to solve that problem ?
