Cannot find file for:Min_svarv.hal
This file needs to be in the same folder as your ini and main Hal files.
Could be a typo in your ini file.
If you see a line stating it can’t find a file or a pin doesn’t exist that is the error. Mostly it will be a typo somewhere.

I recently noticed that the Raspbian update on Pi5 installs version 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-2712.
Therefore I thought about updating the PREEMPT_RT version
So I started with a fresh installation of the Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit via Raspberry Pi Imager.
I updated to version 6.6.20 with the usual commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
and I rebooted.
The uname -a command now returns the following indication
Linux raspberrypi5 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.20-1+rpt1 (2024-03-07) aarch64 GNU/
I then compiled a new version of the Raspbian OS that included the PREEMPT_RT
For convenience I used the procedure here
forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=343387
The kernel with the PREEMPT_RT is kernel-6.6.21-v8-16k-elv.zip
and can be downloaded from here
drive.google.com/file/d/1FKLQIBdXTh43kjC...48d/view?usp=sharing
To install it, just copy it to /tmp and then run these commands
cd /
sudo unzip /tmp/kernel-6.6.21-v8-16k-elv.zip
overwriting all files with the All option
So I edited the cmdline.txt with
sudo nano "/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt"
adding the following commands to the end of the line
isolcpus=2.3 rcu_nocbs=2.3 nohz_full=2.3 max.processor.cstate=1
At the next reboot the uname -a command reports the following indication
Linux raspberrypi5 6.6.21-rpi999-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Tue Mar 12 15:59:56 CET 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux
To install linuxcnc simply type the following commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev
However, to date the installed version is the following
LINUXCNC - 2.9.0~pre1+git20230208.f1270d6ed7
If you want version 2.9.2 you can do it this way:
cd /tmp
wget linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/b...pace_2.9.2_arm64.deb
wget linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/b...-dev_2.9.2_arm64.deb
wget linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/b...doc-en_2.9.2_all.deb
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.2_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-uspace-dev_2.9.2_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-doc-en_2.9.2_all.deb
The result of the latency-histogram (latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000 --show --servo 35000) is however always very interesting
For those who do not want to retrace all the steps previously exposed, you can find the ready-made image (Lcnc292_pi5.img) here:

Looks good. It would be interesting to retry using the debian kernel rather than your compied one and compare latency results. I suspect what you have will be better.sudo apt-install -y linux-image-rt-arm64 linux-headers-rt-arm64

Always wonder why you use such a low servo thread, which isn't a real world scenario, and don't show a 1ms servo thread and a base thread.
It would be interesting to see a 1ms servo thread without isolating any cpus. And the aforementioned 1ms servo thread & base thread isolating the required cpus to get a real life scenario. Some users can judge whether it would suit a real life setup without having to go through buying a RPi5, installing Linuxcnc and running the latency tests. Something that would give them confidence in a particular setup.

I tried the procedure you suggested but, in addition to the fact that version 6.1.0-18-rt-arm64 is currently available (and therefore not aligned with version 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-2712), the installation reports that these versions of initramfs and kernel are unsupported.Looks good.

It was worth a try.
Often, where multiple kernel versions are in play, I have used
sudo apt install linux-image-$(uname -r)-rt-arm64 linux-headers-$(uname -r)-rt-arm64
Not sure if Debian knows about your kernel.

Nice latency test elovalvo.
Just to rise awareness, isn't here anybody able and willing to modify rpi5 macb driver for EtherCAT?
