I just installed an MK kernel(*): Linux picnc 4.4.4-rt9-v7+ #7 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon Mar 7 14:53:11 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux It still results in some initial missed deadlines. However, as before, once the system is running it is stable. It also seems that this kernel is actually usable. I was able to drag the lcnc window over the screen with the preview tab visible and there were no additional missed deadlines. So, it seems that we are getting closer. (*) There are some hacks to get this kernel installed. The documentation at states that you need an updated bootloader, which, of course, I promptly ignored. Then you need to reorganize the /boot content a bit to get the kernel running. The old bootloader has apparently some fixed paths which it uses (like kernel7.img and overlays/). -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
