Thanks Torsten and Eric, As always helpful and valid hints from folks on this list.
Torsten, I had spotted your wiki page and noted the similarities with your AVR chip and my use of Pics, I did not however notice and pick up on your special FG code for the slave PC. It looks like the answer to my quest, the Atom board maybe not! I have had a quick look, the readme states how to build it but I have not found a reference to what version of FG to compile with ? Hopefully one of the 1.9x will be ok? Eric, thanks for the hint on the Atoms and threading, sadly I have checked and found mine to be a 230 which according to Intel in single core and dual thread. I have had it over a year so assume it was one of the first ones to come out. This most likely explains why V2 has a zero frame rate in XP and dies with a seg fault in linux (without any compiling issues) after loading the scenario file on it, while V 0.9 from 2006 runs fine in XP. So I am going to try it with V1.9.1, but I will start with a fresh SUSE install. Hopefully i can get an OSG version of FG to run on it.
