[15:20:25] <dgarr> some tests of rtai 3.5.7 debs on atom motherboard:
http://www.panix.com/~dgarrett/rtai357/
[15:24:58] <mhaberler> dgarr: that's quite interesting; in particular the 'idle=poll' observation - confirms my theory that latency is mostly undeterministic wakeups from powersave states
[15:25:08] -!- tronwizard has quit []
[15:25:24] <mhaberler> since that was the same thing with xenomai it cant be the OS
[15:26:46] -!- mourner has quit [Quit: mourner]
[15:26:50] <mhaberler> plus the old idle do-nothing shell script observation - it's all the same story: preventing powersave
[15:27:26] <mhaberler> at least those which fiddle the onboard SMPS regulators - those are slow to come back up
[15:29:21] <skunkworks> Idle = poll didn't help me on the few intel machines I have tried so far with xenomai
[15:29:35] <skunkworks> it did with the amd systems
[15:30:01] <skunkworks> dgarr: you might want to post that to the list
[15:30:34] <skunkworks> But I have not gotten back to testing xonamai yet
[15:30:59] <skunkworks> (now I have a dual boot hd with rtai 3.5.7 and xonamai

[16:08:19] <mhaberler> probably debug syms
[16:21:33] <L84Supper> so if we kill powersave in the firmware that should get us lower consistent latency
[16:28:52] <mhaberler> in the firmware ?
[16:32:13] <mozmck> It should all be turned off in the kernel config - right?
[16:32:31] <mhaberler> not necessarily
[16:32:53] <mhaberler> there are lots of powersave states, not all of them are suspicious
[16:33:06] <mhaberler> the current drain can be dramatic, see here:
[16:33:59] <mhaberler> http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-CPU-C-States-Power-Saving-Modes/611/5
[16:35:05] <mhaberler> it would really help to scope the CPU supply voltage on suspicious boards - that should give a strong hint
[16:36:06] <mhaberler> boot=idle basically prevents falling into powersave states by busy looping the OS idle loop
[16:37:25] <mozmck> I know that before with rtai it was recommended to turn off all the power stuff. That's why the computer would not turn off when you shutdown among other things.
[16:37:28] <mhaberler> functionally it doesnt matter where you disable powersave states - since not all cpu's/boards seem to be susceptible compiling that in unchangeable is a bad idea
[16:37:41] <mhaberler> well yes
[16:38:48] <mhaberler> that's one of the consequences and some RTOS build recipes give strong advice, like the xenomai menuconfig already detects bad combinations and tells you
[16:39:09] <mhaberler> I havent tried against that advice yet though ;)
[16:39:21] <mozmck> for a machine controller I think power consumption is almost not a consideration compared to functionality. The machine you are running uses more power than the computer anyhow!
[16:39:58] <L84Supper> firmware = coreboot with none of the power management enabled
[16:40:29] <mhaberler> (I'm tempted to go on a tangent and ask why latency is all that important at least for servo configs, I have not heard a quantitative answer yet)
[16:40:48] <L84Supper> it's not that big a deal for servos
[16:40:56] <mhaberler> there are lots of musings and opining on the issue
[16:41:11] <mhaberler> well my interest would be a hard figure for 'big deal'
[16:41:13] <L84Supper> its just for stepper apps that want every once squeezed out of their chipset
[16:41:33] <mhaberler> tell that to the servo crowd
[16:41:51] <L84Supper> and whats wrong with 5us latency jitter?
[16:42:22] <mhaberler> what's wrong with a Airbus380 jetfan in my convertible
[16:42:45] <mozmck> The people running stepper apps probably outnumber the servo apps I would venture to guess. Much simpler easier and cheaper setup for any kind of hobby stuff.
[16:42:46] <L84Supper> nice
[16:43:21] <mhaberler> I'm would like to discover a quantitatively founded answer to that question eventually. thats all
[16:43:29] <L84Supper> yes, it's mostly steppers for retrofits
[16:43:53] <mhaberler> well yes - still this wont apply to hw stepgen board configs
[16:44:03] <L84Supper> IMHO it's just an opinion formed by the wording on the wiki for the latency test
[16:44:08] <L84Supper> lower is better
[16:44:29] <mhaberler> where I hear that before ;)
[16:44:46] <L84Supper> maybe someone should reword the wiki
[16:45:15] <mhaberler> I think the only relevant quantitive answer is path accuracy in a spatial and temporal dimension
[16:45:30] <mhaberler> for that we dont have a quality indicator
[16:47:29] <mhaberler> the only indirect indicator anywhere relevant I can think of is servo loop noise; but I dont see how the former can be derived from that; it sure limits gain and hence accuracy - so there is a relation
[16:49:37] <mhaberler> I think a valuable direction to investigate would be a spectrum analyzer component
[16:49:58] <mhaberler> say, noise density figures
[16:53:10] <mhaberler> something like that:
http://fft-spectra.sourceforge.net/ or gtkspec ; not sure running it on the same machine makes sense but you get the idea
[16:53:49] <mhaberler> you get the machine resonance frequencies displayed for free ;)
[16:59:26] <norbert> Hallo, can someone tell me, how I can interupt an MDI command using a Python command. I have on my screen macro buttons like the ones in touchy, and i want a button to interupt the macro in case of an emergency, but without switching the machine off or pressung the emergency button.
[16:59:45] <mhaberler> send abort()
[16:59:59] <norbert> Thanks I will try that
[17:01:13] <mhaberler> example here:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/common/python-interface.html
[17:01:34] <mhaberler> or halui
[17:01:46] <mhaberler> that cann abort too
[17:04:20] <seb_kuzm1nsky> ok Esc in Axis, iirc
[17:06:42] <norbert> I just tested self.gscreen.emc.abort(), that works like I wish.

[20:04:35] <mhaberler> ok, no more rtai builds before that ;)
[20:04:47] <mhaberler> reason: some of the interp methods, in particular wrt toolchange are exposed as python methods and those might change a public api
[20:05:10] <seb_kuzm1nsky> most likely times for me to be available are 21:00-00:00 in UTC-7
[20:05:27] <seb_kuzm1nsky> wait what?
[20:05:41] <seb_kuzm1nsky> what interp methods are changing and why?
[20:06:40] <mhaberler> I wanted to know whether your changes impacted any interpreter methods; boost::python exposes much of it automatically so it wouldnt break builds but users might be surprised
[20:07:13] <mhaberler> say: new parameter added to method - you get a signature error in python
[20:09:28] <mhaberler> time would be fine for me; need to wait for John to tune in, he's busy fixing the house
[20:10:26] <cradek> mhaberler: what change are you talking about? I don't see any canon api changes.
[20:10:49] <mhaberler> that was my question: were there any
[20:11:06] <mhaberler> due to sebs fixups re tool handling
[20:11:08] <cradek> oh you didn't look? or are you talking about changes he hasn't shared yet?
[20:11:20] <cradek> I just now looked at v2.5_branch and don't see any
[20:11:28] <mhaberler> no, I'm not reading every single commit
[20:11:55] <seb_kuzm1nsky> there was a canon change but no interp change
[20:11:56] <cradek> ok, I did it for you then

[20:12:19] <seb_kuzm1nsky> hold on, diggign it up
[20:12:23] <cradek> seb_kuzm1nsky: you fixed a canon function but did not change the api (param list, return type, etc)
[20:12:29] <cradek> f11f0e8de
[20:12:38] <seb_kuzm1nsky> http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f11f0e8ded4e5bf4945c0fbc2eb025cd3327666b;hp=ff0bcf33fcafc8e089a500be1e2f2e1d64bb4c59
[20:12:46] <seb_kuzm1nsky> yes
[20:13:00] <seb_kuzm1nsky> cradek: correct
[20:13:18] <seb_kuzm1nsky> the function signature was not changed, but the behavior was
[20:13:20] <mhaberler> that's fine - no signature change
[20:13:48] <seb_kuzm1nsky> looking at my recent push, i notice it's mostly comments & docs
[20:13:55] <seb_kuzm1nsky> that's funny, i thought it was mostly code
[20:14:12] <cradek> precise i386 desktop doesn't boot on my laptop because I don't have pae :-/
[20:14:16] <seb_kuzm1nsky> maybe because the code took so much longer to write?
[20:14:21] <mhaberler> it's the documented learning curve
[20:14:27] <seb_kuzm1nsky> cradek: oops
[20:14:46] <seb_kuzm1nsky> pae is for 32-bit machines with more than 4 GB RAM
[20:14:53] <cradek> I predict they just became incompatible with a bunch more hardware
[20:15:02] <cradek> yeah I know. I guess my cpu doesn't support it.
[20:15:08] <mhaberler> they must be after you
[20:15:11] <seb_kuzm1nsky> older cpu maybe?
[20:15:31] <seb_kuzm1nsky> next time i rebuild the rtai kernel i'll turn it off, probably won't be for several days
[20:15:36] <cradek> yeah I know it's oldish
[20:15:57] <cradek> nah, don't bother unless pae breaks rtai (I know it used to), it's a laptop anyway
[20:16:04] <seb_kuzm1nsky> at some point we should host a rtai repo with our local changes on linuxcnc.org
[20:16:24] <cradek> that's fine and also easy
[20:16:30] <seb_kuzm1nsky> great :-)
[20:16:44] <seb_kuzm1nsky> ok i'll be back in some hours, time to go putter around in the garage for a bit :-)
[20:16:50] <cradek> have fun
[20:19:58] <cradek> I haven't managed to get it to boot on *anything* yet
[20:20:08] <cradek> all my spare hardware is old
[20:20:22] <mhaberler> while you are at it - could you do the same for John's already packaged Xenomai kernels? They are on my machine but I thiink they would be better at home at linuxcnc.org
[20:21:10] <cradek> do you mean debs or git?
[20:21:22] <cradek> I think seb meant git but I'm not sure in retrospect
[20:21:23] <mhaberler> both
[20:22:17] <mhaberler> well there is an RTAI deb archive for linuxcnc on that machine, and I think a matching Xenomai deb archive would be nice
[20:22:31] <mhaberler> RT-PREEMPT we dont need custom debs for
[20:24:03] <cradek> I can pull some stuff to www.linuxcnc.org/some-new-dir any time, but if we want real apt repos we have to figure out how to stir them in with what we already have and get them signed
[20:24:16] <cradek> I can also make a new git repo on git.linuxcnc.org any time
[20:24:26] <mhaberler> well yes, John did all that already
[20:24:35] <mhaberler> it'd be basically a key change
[20:25:16] <mhaberler> I think a kernel repo with branches per build would make sense
[20:26:17] <mhaberler> he did all the automatic build which goes to deb.machinekit.net already, and all code is in a repo (not linux kernel -separate; that would be a good idea too)
[20:27:42] <mhaberler> the more I think of it - two would make sense: the kernel proper plus branches, plus a build scripts repo so as not to taint the kernel repo
[20:27:52] <mhaberler> that was the error I made
[20:29:07] <mhaberler> not sure at this point what some-new-dir will be - I dont think we need one; it's going to be different packages under the existing one
[20:31:07] <cradek> I am going to work on releasing 2.5.2 for existing setups soon - after that we can figure out what additional stuff we want to do for new realtime systems
[20:33:05] <mhaberler> I think we need you mostly for the linuxcnc.org prequsites but we'll work those out with Seb; the repos and some coordination on transfer would help though
[20:33:32] <cradek> I agree with your goal of having a kernel repo we can use to reproduce our kernel package builds. we've had trouble keeping track of that before
[20:33:40] <mhaberler> sorry - work out the build prerequisites with Seb
[20:33:47] <mhaberler> amen
[20:34:05] <mhaberler> (that was very polite ;)
[20:34:32] <mhaberler> that may never happen again
[20:34:52] <cradek> whether/how we'll make and package linuxcnc releases of 2.6/3.0/whatever it is, for several realtime systems, is hugely up in the air as far as I know
[20:35:33] <mhaberler> not for me, but discussing it gets it down to the ground, and that was missing so far
[20:36:33] <mhaberler> please understand that my patience on no response/discourse whatsoever is, well, a bit stretched
[20:36:33] <cradek> well I have not seen that any of the packaging type work is even started. am I mistaken?
[20:37:02] <mhaberler> You'd want to discuss this with Seb too, and I am sure he can clear up the situation for you
[20:37:15] <mhaberler> yes you are mistaken
[20:37:34] <cradek> I did yesterday, and he didn't yet know how it will work
[20:37:36] <mhaberler> but we do need a buildbot VM which can do runtests
[20:38:08] <mhaberler> that's one for Xenomai and one for RT-PREEMPT
[20:38:10] <cradek> yeah the buildbot does need to do it, afaic. that's a luxury I will no longer happily do without
[20:38:22] <mhaberler> before that it's a bit academic
[20:38:34] <mhaberler> otherwise: no runtests
[20:39:04] <mhaberler> I mean we can do that on any public build infrastructure, there are many options - I think the runtests step is valuable though

[20:40:10] <mhaberler> and that is very specific because of the RT OS
[20:45:28] <cradek> cmorley1: I'm getting ready to release 2.5.2. is pncconf on v2.5_branch stable right now?

[20:50:16] <JT-Shop> is the MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY in [DISPLAY] a bug?

[20:53:02] <JT-Shop> I see it duplicated in both [TRAJ] and [DISPLAY] in axis.ini
[20:53:57] <cradek> for one purpose it will look for it in DISPLAY and then TRAJ, for another purpose it must be in TRAJ. I think that is the bug
[20:54:34] <JT-Shop> ouch
[20:55:12] <cradek> I can fix
[20:55:26] <cradek> thanks for reminding me about jensor's problem
[20:55:33] <JT-Shop> ok, thanks I'm just heading out in a bit and won't be here tomorrow

[21:25:00] <cradek> well, tried precise i386 desktop on three machines and it boots and runs on exactly zero of them. one says I should use a different kernel, one boots and asks whether I want low video mode and then hangs, the third just says Boot Error and hangs
[21:25:35] <cradek> I did not even bother to try the venerable dual-P3

[22:27:21] <KimK> Along these lines of thought, any suggestions on what is (now) a good motherboard/chipset/etc ? Is the Atom D525 two-core still a good choice, or is there something better? (Although it now must be mfgd by people other than Intel though, since Intel seems to be getting out of them)
[22:28:52] <KimK> Any and all advice appreciated. And I don't mind spending a little more to get a sufficiently zippy system for menu pull-downs, etc, I hate it when that stuff drags. And I want to try at least a two-core system this time, so I can try isolcpus=1 (or more?)
[22:29:12] <cradek> see emc-users, some good results have been shared lately
[22:30:01] <KimK> OK, thanks, looking
[22:30:16] <KimK> (I'm way behind on the lists)
[22:43:42] <cmorley1> cradek: Yes I got the last major pncconf bug I know of. Thanks for asking.
[23:04:37] <andypugh> Precise boots happily on my VM with the RTAI kernel. Which I guess is good.
