Hope this help!

Hi wildkrishh!

Yes, you does. Because it is works on many platforms including ARM. But ARM absolutely another platform.
So, what do you want to do? If not a secret...

Hi Alex,

no there is nothing secret here
well my linux system has around 40millisec before it dies out ... an interrupt gets triggered reading from GPIO pin within kernel space, but i needed to do a "sync" before it dies .... i know i cant jump to the user space and call it becoz the system is already dead
so was thinkin to do sync before the system actually looses all power.
Do u hav any suggestion regarding this....
Kind Regards

Hi wildkrishh!

Sorry for answering delay.
Well, maybe I don't understand something, but what are you understanding under "sync"?
Well, I think that it help you: Linux arm PXA gpio programming. If not come here, please.

P.S. My English not so good. But I glad to exchange experience with foreign colleague.
