As I understand it, that's the way it should be. The point of isolating the second CPU / core / whatever is to dedicate it to the real-time parts of RTAI, thus reducing interrupt latency. The CPU will sit there, completely idle, most of the time, so that when a real-time interrupt / task needs work, it can be dispatched immediately. Pinning AXIS to that "idle" CPU will definitely make the UI run much faster, but then the interrupt latency will (uh, should) get much worse, with the usual horrible effects on software step pulse generation. At least, that's how I think it works... -- Ed http://softsolder.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
