Well, I kind of feel like an idiot now. I had installed Preempt_rt and checked 
with ??uname -a?? to verify that I was running preempt_rt.
However, when I rebooted it didn??t boot into the preempt_rt kernel. So when I 
rebooted into the preempt_rt kernel linuxcnc would run normally.

I used Synaptic to remove the non-preempt_rt kernels to avoid the future 
problem.
Linux alans-optiplex 5.10.0-19-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 5.10.149-2 
(2022-10-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am running a 5i25 / 7i76 pair of boards. Should that have the dpll in it? It doesn??t appear to have it. Is there a new version of the firmware that I could flash it with.

Alan

In general the PCI/PCIE cards do not have the DPLL included in their firmware as the host jitter is much lower than the jitter on Ethernet cards.

I commented out the two offending lines from the new configuration file. Now it 
doesn??t error out on the missing lines:
#setp [HMOT](CARD0).dpll.01.timer-us -50
#setp [HMOT](CARD0).stepgen.timer-number 1
However, the very first error is the ??Watchdog has bitten??.

It seems like an error in pncconf if it inserts dpll.01.timer-us where mesa 
software has no dpll pins or am I misunderstanding this?

Alan


pncconf doesnt know if the firmware has a DPLL or not
(though all recent EThernet firmware does)

What hardware do you have?

A watchdog bite likely indicates a real time issue with the host or OS.
