[Gumstix-users] clock()

[Philip M. <mit...@tr...>]

I am having problems with the clock() function which I am using for a delay
routine. Under Window (sorry for the foul language) the clock function
returns the number of clock ticks. This results in a millisecond result. On
the Gumstics I also get the value expressed in milliseconds, but it is only
updated every second. For example if I have a loop like this
 
 
clock_t    Timeout;
clock_t    Now;
 
Now = clock();
Timeout = Now + 500;
while (Now < Timeout)
{
    Now = clock();
    printf("\n%lu", Now);
}; // ENDWHILE
 
 
The output from this is something like
 
10000
10000
.

.
10000
10000
10000
11000
 
What am I doing wrong?
