Re: [Gumstix-users] gpio-event problems in C

[Mathias K. <mat...@ho...>]

I have also tried to get the borders this way (cat keeps locked showing event by event, head shows only the first n):

system("head -n 1 /dev/gpio-event");
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);

system("head -n 1 /dev/gpio-event");
gettimeofday(&stop, NULL);

Despite I've set EventBothEdges and the frequency is very low it quickly start to lose events, and it only shows rising edges (when set to show only falling it does, but still losing events).
