Everything makes perfect sense. For this reason, I am willing to do some
tests on my own platform. How would you suggest to proceed? I would need
an extremely accurate way to measure time to begin with and then:
- read that time reference
- generate an interrupt by placing some data in a device or so
- reading again that time reference as first thing in the ISR
- save the result
- do the above in various scenarios, with different drivers enabled, CPU
load, etc etc
