Re: [Emc-users] 2.7.0 is out!

2015-10-21 Thread jrmitchellj .
After some more testing, I am beginning to believe that.
I added "idle=poll" to the boot parameters, and that seemed to help a bit.
I am still trying to figure out why the latency is larger with the new
install of Debian & LCNC 2.7.0.

Are there any other tests or utilities I can use to try and catch what may
be causing the occasional long latency?

Can you see RTAI in the system monitor? (I don't know the process name).
I seem to recall hearing that isolcpus does lead to RTAI running in a
separate core, and that core becomes hidden from the system monitor.

Re: [Emc-users] 2.7.0 is out!

2015-10-18 Thread jrmitchellj .
Finally got the updates done using synaptic (update manager would not
perform all the updates).
Now I have a latency issue.  The numbers from the latency test are about
30% higher than previously measured on Lucid, but not all that bad (12000ns
on base thread), but i get an RTAPI error on task 1 quite often when
starting Linuxcnc, and if it does start without an error, it gets one
within the first 10 minutes.
This is on a Intel DM510 motherboard that I have been using since late
2011. I have the isolcpus=1 set, and no hyperthreading, as before.
Looking at the system monitor, it looks like all tasks are running on the
first core.  I kinda expected the tasks for LinuxCNC to be running on the
second core.
Is there something I should check, or change?

Still something fishy there.

I just downloaded the 2.7.0 iso, & made a live usb stick.
I booted from it, and noticed that LCNC is indicating "PRE2".

Is this the official 2.7.0 release (with a little chaff left in it)?
