Hi Muneeswaran, I don't think we can have micro second resolution in linux kernel. If you need micro second resolution you may need to apply the patch. I think this link may provide you more info on this. http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/2005-05/msg00052.html Thanks Manjunath Naik -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Muneeswaran P - TLS, Chennai Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 4:32 PM To: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Microsecond resolution for kernel Timer - Help Hi, I have to create a kernel timer with microsecond resolution .
