Then you might not be able to get such resolutions. I don't know exactly how
far the ordinary timer can go.

FPC isn't the problem. If it is a problem, it is either hardware or OS.
If it is callable from gcc (c), it can be done in FPC.

It turns out that usleep is based on nanosleep. Afaik it is

I don't see warnings. I think simply try to use these functions in a few
small testprograms, and then determine if the resolution they provide is 
adequate. If not, I think you should talk to your hardware vendor, maybe
the embedded system has another (hardware) way of doing precise timings)
