*Hi Robert * Ya I agree with Jason because if most of the time we are not running web servers using BBB but are interfacing BBB to the external world. So i am more worried about latency than throughput. Whats the risk of enabling CONFIG_PREEMPT in the kernel ?
*Hi Jason*, What were the issue that you mentioned were faced by BeaglePilot when using PRU ?
