Yes. My question is pointed towards uClinux. I am sorry. I forgot to mention that in the first post<br>/neo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 11:47 PM, Chaitannya Mahatme <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chaitannya@gmail.com">chaitannya@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am developing a BSP for a ARM Cortex-M3 (no MMU) based board. In
order to have tickless kernel and deferrable timers, what are the
architecture specific implementations. Is the clocksource and
clockevent data structures enough? How to hook those timers to the
tickless implementation of the kernel/timer.c. Can some one point out
any examples that already have this feature enabled and also in the
kernel tree. <br>
<br>
And also, are clocksoure and clockevents dependent on each other? I see
in some platforms, that they have used 2 different timers for the
above. If it can be used so, which ties up the clocksource and
clockevent?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

Since you have mentioned that there is no MMU, you cannot port Linux
kernel onto it. You would be mostly be looking forward to uclinux or
bare metal programming. <br>
Is your question specific to uclinux ?<br>
