We are seeing up to a quarter second delay before halcmd returns with Linuxcnc Master branch on 12.04/Xenomai.
The crude shell script below simply prints times before/after halcmd (if time wraps you get an invalid number, run again). On our 10.04 system it takes between 10-30 ms to run halcmd to show all pins (or any specific pin), and on our 12.04 systems with Xenomai the same operation takes 200-250ms. Not sure why, but this delay seems too long.... #!/bin/sh date +%N halcmd -s show pin > /dev/null date +%N Running fresh 12.04 installation and installed Xenomai from here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NewRTInstall using the rtos-integration-preview3-merged-into-master branch on an Intel ATOM 2500, 2700, 2800 series motherboards vs running same hardware installed with 2.5.1 Release LiveCD and then updated to the Lucid Master branch using instructions here: http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org We are running with sim->axis-> axis configuration. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
