hello and sorry for the delay to report back. It seems that in arm architecture there are no frequency option it takes them from the architecture, from what I've read it is 100Hz with no option to change that. So what I did was simply uncheck the tickless kernel option. @vincele that's what I thought too but it seems this is not the case. @goldfish_paris the new patch for RT doesn't succeed for some reason so I'm stuck to .108 which is not a great problem for me. I do not have the expertise to try to fix it so whenever someone comes with a solution it will be most welcome, but so far it is n't urgent for me. Thanx again for all the info.
