Installing LCNC on Beelink  BT3 PRO II

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration

It all runs fine except no WiFi. Perhaps I should just get a usb wifi - any suggestions on a decent one?

I have bought several of these without any issues. I see they have gone up in price lately

Jitter is not good - about 250,000 max. Is this way too high even for a mesa? Anything I should be doing to reduce jitter?

Is it worth persevering with this pc, or should i get something better? It is for a VMC that will be used in our manufacturing business, so needs to be reliable.

Thanks

Like I said Mint 19 has the firmware all that is missing is the text file.
The efivars filesystem should already be mounted.
For the jitter just the usual,
Turn off any power saving and you may also use the isolcpu kernel commandline option.
Mint works with just about any USB wifi dongle.

Is there a guide to using isolcpu? I'm a complete newbie to linux

What is an acceptable max jitter for Mesa Ethernet?

Will work through the wifi over the next few weeks as time permits.

Thanks again for all the help

The search function should turn up numerous hits for isolcpu or it maybe isolcpus.

If you weren’t so north of my location I’d offer my time for nix to help ya out.

Maybe I'm better off sending it down to you and getting you to set it all up correctly - I'm happy to pay for your time

126uS for sure is OK (126000 nS), as i have an old laptop that does that and works for days without dropping the link.
