Since the problem disappears with 'maxcpus=1', I suspect I have a SMP issue (machine is a Core2 Quad), so I'll move to xenomai-core. (original message can be found at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4CC82C8D.3080808%40control.lth.se ) Xenomai-core gurus: which is the corrrect way to debug SMP issues? Can I run I-pipe-tracer and expect to be able save at least 150 us of traces for all cpus? Any hints/suggestions/insigths are welcome...
