- Sure there is... What you do is create a cpu hog that
- eats cpu time(busy wait loop) at prio 128. It has to sleep
- part of the time. If you want 8 mhz out of a 40 mhz, then
- it would eat 4 units of time and sleep for 1 unit. The unit
- of time should be small enough to give smoothness to the system
- but not too small or the overhead would slow you down further...
-
- Using the timer.device you could calculate a delay factor and
- busy wait, then do a wait for the amount you wish to free up.
- Interesting idea... No, I don't think there is such a tool yet!
