It's weird that the sample config works but switching to emcrsh locks it up. Are you sure adding emcrsh was the only change between the working and broken configs?
What are you doing in your base thread that 100 microseconds is not enough? Here's a config based on emcrsh that i'm trying to use for testing, it works well on my machines and may be a useful starting point for you: <http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=tree;f=tests/motion/g0;h=52113a4137b2ecf08983634980c5758c3b6507b3;hb=14363c8f5887f88dd8a0a1aadbb0191741d0d5a6> ----- Reply message ----- From: "jop...@gmail.com" <jop...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 21, 2011 00:12 Subject: [Emc-users] emcrsh: server part locks up To: <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Hi! I found some troubles using Emcrsh program. The detailed description is here http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,38/id,13940/lang,english/ In addition, my Emc software version was initially not latest 2.4.6, but version packed into liveCD image. I then update it to 2.4.6 but no difference. I can't test version 2.4.7, because mentioned in announce 'Debian packages are availble from the regular package servers' i can't find anywhere. When i build from source, i see Emcrch binary, but don't see Emc main executable (probably due to i don't have real-time developement libs). I try to substitute Emcrsh 2.4.7 binary into existing Emc2 2.4.6 instalation, but still no success. I also notice that increase Base_period from 100000 to 500000 mostly solves this problem (but not completely solves), but software stepgens not work anymore with it. I disable all i found relevant to problem in my BIOS setup (USB, sound, CPU features, etc.) but no difference. Jitter is: 3100 ns when idle, and up to 6700 ns when i abuse computer (glxgears etc). (these values taken after i moderately modify BIOS settings). No jitter peaks i notice. I have Intel Celeron E14 06FD 2.0GHz CPU and Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard. Onboard videocard used. I use cheap parallel port step drivers. I have 4 axis. My initial setup was standard liveCD EMC2 which work out-of-box, and i am able to mill without any problem, when not use Emcrsh. I am very novice in EMC, RTAI and machining at all.
