Also, the kernel you are using is not the only RT-Preempt for the pi:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt #Add the following dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0 dwc_otg.fiq_enable=0 dwc_otg.nak_holdoff=0 sudo reboot -n See posts at this site about rt patched kernels on pi2 & 3 freezing during wifi use https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=159170 May this will do it for you I hope Tim March ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
