Linux 3.14.4 - Xenomai 2.6.3 running on Gigabyte!!

All,

Been out of pocket for the last 5 weeks or so, as I had some commitments I needed to complete around the house before Labor Day:). So, I finally got some time to work on my new setup using a Gigabyte J1800N-D2H (It's based on the Intel Bay Trail chipset), 2x2GB memory and a Samsung 120GB SSD drive. I tried the RT_Preempt but I was not as successful as @PCW (I may go back and retry this as I think I have the BIOS settings settled).

Unfortunately, with this motherboard/chipset only a very current kernel will recognize many aspects of the hardware, so I plowed through getting Xenomai integrated. I found 5 compile errors within the git repository for Linux 3.14/Xenomai 2.6.3/Ipipe framework and managed to fix them (I need to some how get these changes over to the Xenomai group?? If somebody can give me a lead as who to email I would appreciate it.)

I am currently using Linuxcnc - git branch "origin/unified-build-candidate-3" which I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is the correct branch currently? I need to rebuild this as I currently did not see the mesa hal code for ethernet support. So, I just needed to get it up and running for now to test the latency.

So, after about a 30 minutes running the latency test I have Servo Thread(1.0ms) 3630 and Base thread(25.0us) 8125. So, I think I'll be OK with this new setup Once I finalize everything I'll get it posted on the hardware list and I would like to possibly create a wiki page for the complete setup for the motherboard. I've attached the screen shots of the latency test as it progressed. BTW, how does one inline images on a thread? I tried to use image link to google drive but the preview did not show them correctly.

More to come!
