Step Sale and Velocity

The hm2_eth manual page has an example

But I would try using ethtool by hand first as ethtool may not be installed
Running the ping command after the ethtool command should show improved ping times

Yeah I am running the following from the hm2 manual (except with 10.10.10.10 address)
Also the ethtool command returned

Right, so you need to install ethtool

sudo apt-get install ethtool

Also turn off all virtualization in bios and select single core.

I had issues when using optiplex. After i had no problem.

Like PCW said, somethings flaky with your networkit seems. What are the ping times when pinging localhost?

Might be repeating this but, is your Mesa board connected Directly to the PC ?

Yep, I have a RJ45 Cat5 or (6) cable running straight from the back of the computer to the Mesa 7i76e.

Bevins I ran my PC on one core but turns out I ran it on the first core and have just read that for preempt it is better to run it on the last core, so I will try the second core and see how that goes.


In the meantime I have trieda differernt tactic but have run into problems with freezing. I have purchased a GIGABYTE GB-BACE-3160 with a WD Blue 500GB SATA III 2.5-inch Internal Mobile Hard Drive .

I have downloaded 3 different versions of Debian 9 stretch, RT-preempt images from the live/install page.

linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-amd64-r12.iso
linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-amd64.iso
linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386-r12.iso

I started a different thread for this topic in another area but this thread seems to be a lot more active.

Thank You

edit: Am wondering if my problems are hardware related or software related or my own ignorance. I have been pulling my hair out for months now trying to get this to work.

Is anyone in Auatralia interested in trying to get this working for me on their own 7i76e setup for some cash? lol. im out of options.

I might be able to help. I'd like to see some photos of your BIOS screens to see if they are the same as mine
I've got two of the BRIX, a N3160 and a J1900. I have run both of them but have been running the J1900 for a long time (as it was the older PC) and have reformatted the N3160 which is running Windows.

I've never used it but I have a caddy which is meant to be able to direct copy one HDD to another. I don't know what that means when you copy my 128 Gb HDD to a 512 Gb one though. I guess worst case you can add another partition later.

I am running Mint 17.3 and compiled the PREEMPT_RT kernel. Linuxcnc Master is also compiled from source.

Thank you very much Rod. I will contact you tomorrow.

Bevins you were right, I had to select single core for my Dell Optiplex, however in my BIOS I had to select (2) which im assuming means the second core, I initially thought this meant two cores. Computer ran LinuxCNC for 4 hours straight with no errors thus far.
