thanks for the link. I've tried so many different way to compile rtai, ie via debian's repository and downloading from original source that I'm a bit lost right now. However it good to know that at least someone else is running EMC on debian, so it's a doable task :)
Anyway, I just got the latency test to run, but it looks pretty bad. ovl max at 174,383. Now I have to figure out how I got RTAI to work and duplicate it on another system. Does the graphics card driver makes any difference on latency? As I run glxgear, I notice the fps is pretty low and it's running software rendering. If I switch over to radeon driver will latency improve? does kernel timer frequency have an effect on the latency? thanks, John On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 6:19 AM, Schooner <schoone...@tiscali.co.uk> wrote: > Hi > > I have built 2.6.26 rtai kernels on Lenny and Squeeze. > Still using Lenny on an older machine > > I used these instructions as a starting point and tailored for debian > http://code.google.com/p/neo-technical/wiki/emc2ubuntu > > My notes suggest that tk/tcl8.4 bwidget and python-tk are not in the > Lenny standard install and need fetching > before emc will build. > > regards > > NB all references to emc do of course refer to another name that takes > longer to type with 2 fingers > > On 15/05/12 04:24, emc-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net wrote: >> Is there a more up to date tutorial on how to compile rtai with >> Debian.
