Re: [Emc-users] AMD based Mini-ITX Mobo, Good option?

2012-09-18 Thread Joe Spanier
Thanks for all the replys. For the ones that have worked with this board are 
the graphics drivers fairly straight forward, or is this a graphics card that 
will take lots of hunting and hacking in xorg to get going? Im looking for the 
most straight forward motherboard solution I can find. Im going to end up 
building at least 3 PCs to run a router, mill and lathe, and I would like to do 
as little hacking with this stuff as possible. 

Thanks,
Joe

[Emc-users] AMD based Mini-ITX Mobo, Good option?

2012-09-17 Thread Joe Spanier
Hey Guys!
I found another motherboard for a great price and I was curious on your 
opinions. Heres a link 
: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=0cJiSgDVEeKnXe4ky_MqHA0_Ic8B3_0_0_0AID=10440897PID=1225267nm_mc=AFC-C8Junctioncm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-naItem=N82E16813128561

Its AMD based with the new APU tech. Has anyone out here tried one of these 
yet? Or have any ideas whether it would be a good replacement for the D525 
boards?


BTW, Is there a good way to search these emails or the archive? I Cant for the 
life of me find a search function in the archive and there seems to be a alot 
of great stuff hidden in these email lists.

Thanks,
Joe

I got a ASUS E35M1-M for testing with the same on card CPU/APU and its fine 
(~20 usec latencies) Seems a little faster overall than the D525 at the

 I got a ASUS E35M1-M for testing with the same on card CPU/APU and its
 fine (~20 usec latencies)

I would not call ~20 u-sec latencies comparable to the pair of D525MW's I 
have.  They are showing circa 3 u-secs, with a very occasional, separated 
by hours, exception that will throw a realtime error.  This is at 23 u-sec 
BASE_PERIOD.  Reseting BASE_PERIOD to 25 u-secs absolutely stops that.  
Considering that 25 is 20 better than what I had to start with using the 
older xP1600 athlon, I'm ecstatic.

However, since the D525MW is now mostly out of the pipeline, I agree that a 
suitable 'next-gen' board needs be found.

However, I am also concerned that we are running out of time with the 
10-04.4 LTS distribution, particularly since we seem to be locked into a 
kernel whose uptime on this machine has only exceeded 3 weeks of uptime 
once in close to a year.  Its scheduler for normal desktop usage sucks dead 
toads thru soda straws, and it leaks memory, often into swap on a 4 core, 
4Gb machine in an hour after the reboot.  This morning seems to be an 
exception, no swap at 5 hours uptime, but when I rebooted, it took 2 
reboots as usual.

I have been tempted to add a 6 hour cycle to the root crontab that does a 
swappoff -a, sleeps 2 secs, and re-enables swap.

Has anyone else been tempted to control the leakage by this means?

 Seems a little faster overall than the D525
 at the expense of somewhat higher power consumption (the ASUS E35M1-M

If you actually test latencies with I/O going on, I think you will find the 
that D525s are nowhere near 3 usec real latency. The latency test does no 
I/O so misses things that block hardware access. I've measured in the 
neighborhood of 75 Usec jitter (with a 'scope) on the servo thread with 
D525 that reported ~12 uSec on the latency test...

This also shows up with the inability of a D525 to run with much more than a 
1.5 KHz servo thread without occasional real time faults. The APU boards are 
better in this respect that the D525 (less servo threadjitter).


All this to say, the latency test is not a realistic test of LinuxCNC 
operating latency, it will detect gross problems and give you a feel for the 
machince latency performance but thats about it.


 However, since the D525MW is now mostly out of the pipeline, I agree that a

 I've been wanting to try the E350, so I ordered one.  My desktop with the
AMD processor has very good latencies even under a lot of stress, but I
didn't want to put that into CNC service.  Since I'm using servo, 20us
latencies aren't really an issue.  Will report back when I get it running.
Since these boards have been out for a while, my guess is they aren't going

the E35M1-M I tested with (E350 APU) has just now been replaced by the E45M1-M 
which is identical except a slighty faster E450 CPU/APU, so I dont think these 
are going away any time soon. I'm also curious how their big brothers (the FM1 
and upcoming FM2 socket APUs) do latency wise, temped to try this:

I came to that conclusion sometime back.  As a yardstick, its the only one 
we have ATM.  It needs to be expanded, with instructions to disable motor 
power before running it, so that it does do a marching bit test of the i/o 
port in use.  But my coding skills in assembly on x86 stuff have never been 
developed, my thinking is too constrained by the straight forward methods 
the older moto chips used.  So x86 stuff looks like pure gibberish to me.

Like everyone else, I am watching the RISC scene avidly.  But its not there 
yet for software stepping.

  However, since the D525MW is now mostly out of the pipeline, I agree
  that a suitable 'next-gen' board needs be found.

I goofed around with the bios and also added a video card with not much 
improvement.

  Hey Guys!
  I found another motherboard for a great price and I was curious on your
  opinions. Heres a link :
  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=0cJiSgDVEeKnXe4ky_MqHA0_Ic8B3_0_0_0AID=10440897PID=1225267nm_mc=AFC-C8Junctioncm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-naItem=N82E16813128561
 
  Its AMD based with the new APU tech. Has anyone out here tried one of
  these yet? Or have any ideas whether it would be a good replacement for the
  D525 boards?
 
  I've been wanting to try the E350, so I ordered one.  My desktop with the
  AMD processor has very good latencies even under a lot of stress, but I
  didn't want to put that into CNC service.  Since I'm using servo, 20us
  latencies aren't really an issue.  Will report back when I get it running.
  Since these boards have been out for a while, my guess is they aren't going
  to be available much longer.
 
 
 the E35M1-M I tested with (E350 APU) has just now been replaced by the 
 E45M1-M 
 which is identical except a slighty faster E450 CPU/APU, so I dont think 
 these 
 are going away any time soon. I'm also curious how their big brothers (the 
 FM1 
 and upcoming FM2 socket APUs) do latency wise, temped to try this:

 and add it to my test monkeys
