Thanks Mike, turned out I was ok. But I just enabled the line to the
linuxcnc buildbot, mostly to get the testers to see how this mobo and
memory stack up on a non-real-time kernel, and it looks like its the
fastest machine here, so the default kernels are getting better. I could
actually run machinery from this kernel! Not that I will, but now I
have a good idea for a replacement mobo for and old slow Dell thats
running my biggest milling machine if that Dell ever pukes. A 1
kilocycle servo-thread shows a 4 microsecond jitter, better than any of
the other 4 machines in my zoo. Asus X370 mobo, slow, very lowpower 6
core i5, 32GB of dram. I built it after the 12 yo old phenom asus board
had a fire at one of the mobo usb sockets last fall.
A good realtime or RTAI kernel can beat that but not by much, this would
most certainly work if it had to. I'm impressed. I do odd things just
to see if it can be done, like running a 1500 lb, 80 yo Sheldon lathe
with an rpi4. Probably more accurately than by hand, and 5 to 10x faster
than hands turning cranks could run it in 1955. Keeps me out of the bars
dontcha know. At 86 yo, I'd best stay away from those.
Take care now.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
