VXWorks WatchDog timers versus Posix timers -


What kind of timer users need for normal-purpose application timer requirements when using timer rotation? I think the watchdog timer is executed in ISR so that handler functions can greatly reduce system responses in CPU intensive etc. I am writing some new work, which requires some general purpose timer, so what time should I contact (Timer Lib or WDLB)?

Have you seen the timer lib code? I would not be surprised if it used native wdLib under cover, I do not have access to vxworks source anymore, so I can not see myself.

In addition, wdLib is quite light weight, unless you do not go and make a WD handler routine, which takes 10 minutes to run all the allocation, then you should be ok with local calls. I usually sample my WD operators or send messages to unblock a job that works real.
