Greetings folks;

Experimenting with various ways to see if I can find out why the initial 
homing is so slow and loaded with windup effects, effects that do not 
seem to affect the stepper driven axises.

It takes at least 5 seconds for it to get up to search speed, and another 
5 seconds to get back to a stop after the home switch has been found, 
coasting 20-25 degrees getting stopped, then it goes into latch speed 
and takes another minute to get back to the switch edge.  And theres a 
random offset being applied to the home position in the linuxcnc dro 
that does not exist

The randomness gets obviously worse if I crank up the thread speeds, and 
causes a zero drift in the dro readings for repeatedly issuing the 
g0a5;g0a-15 while attempting to optimize the servo settings.

This machine's install is your latest respin of buster. Download, burn 
and installed in late december IIRC.

And rtapi shows up in an htop output, something that isolcpus normally 
hides from htop.  That got me snooping.

And there is no mention of isolcpus in /boot/grub/grub.cfg!

>From uname -a:
4.19.0-14-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note the date!

So, whats the current status of the isolcpus boot parameter?

Also latency-test will not run, can't find the threads, fast or slow.

So someting is fubared IMO, but what?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
