Just to let you know, I tried recompiling everything without periodic support enabled and I can't even load the xeno_nucleus.ko module. I get an -ENODEV presumably because my board won't work with the aperiodic timing mode. On 2/17/06 7:59 AM, Philippe Gerum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yous seem

Hehe I misread that option. I read it as disable SMI and intended for it to be on. I'll try that. :) Steven On 2/17/06 6:28 AM, Philippe Gerum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steven Seeger wrote: Maybe I didn't set it up right? I followed the instructions in the README.INSTALL file. Attached is

Turning on the SMI disable stuff, rebuilding the kernel and modules, and installing everything to my board did not solve the latency problem. My numbers keep growing as the latency tester runs. Any other ideas? I've never had an rtai/xenomai/fusion/whatever system fail basic realtime requirements

Yous seem to be running in periodic timing mode, with a default slice of 125 us. Which parameters are passed to rt_task_set_periodic() and rt_task_wait_period() in your sampling task? I am confused why this matters? You said the latency test shows my realtime does not work, so clearly the

I have a xenomai userspace application that does the following: A thread of priority 90 toggles a bit (outb) to move a stepper motor. A thread of priority 10 updates the display once a second. The motor thread is periodic and uses rt_task_wait_period(). The display thread just uses sleep(1).
