Hello Babacar,
what is your definition of "context switching time"? To measure short
time intervals with little overhead, you can use the
rtems_counter_read() function (not supported on all BSPs).
The tmcontext01 test measures the low-level context switch time. To get
some samples for the thread dispatch time, you can enable profiling
(--enable-profiling configure command line option) and use the test
suite. Collect the output of all the tests and filter out the non-XML
data (filter-test-xml.py). Then you can use this XML file to get some
statistics (e.g. boxplot.py).

Dear devels,
I am using a multithreaded task and I would like to measure the
context switching time.
Do you have any idea on how to do this ?
Kind Regards
