Re: RTAI-5 make hangs at self-calibrate.

Just checked with latest Vulcano and kernel 3.18.22 on my AMD GX-210.

Insmoding rtai_sched tells:

[  191.152594] USERMODE CHECK: OK.
[  191.152604] USERMODE CHECK PROVIDED (ns): KernelLatency -1, UserLatency -1.
[  191.277545] KERNEL SPACE LATENCY ENDED AT CYCLE: 1243, LATENCY = 4271, VARIANCE = 33761/10004569, GAIN = 843651/1000000000, LEAST = 3520.
[  191.357327] AFTER KERNEL CALIBRATION (WITH RTAI TASK, ns): KernelLatency 3526, UserLatency -1 (CALIBRATION: PERIOD 10000 (ns), TIME 204699629 (ns)).
[  191.480609] USER SPACE LATENCY ENDED AT CYCLE: 1203, LATENCY = 4899.93, VARIANCE = 0.00352333, GAIN = 0.000880833, LEAST = 4634.
[  191.482291] USERMODE USER SPACE CALIBRATION: OK.
[  191.482300] AFTER USER CALIBRATION (ns): KernelLatency 3526, UserLatency 4642 (CALIBRATION: PERIOD 10000 (ns), TIME 124954629 (ns)).
[  191.482306] FINAL CALIBRATION SUMMARY (ns): KernelLatency 3526, UserLatency 4642.

Seems to be ok.

Checking ps aux shows that the selfcalibrate.sh script is still running, and has called “/usr/src/rtai/base/arch/x86/calibration/.libs/lt-calibrate ../arch/x86/hal” which is also still running.  Along with a “tee tmp_output”.
