Hi,
I want to use one cpu core fore specific app. So I choose isolcpus method.
First, I add ‘isolcpus=1’ to the /boot/extlinux/extlinu.conf file, like
TIMEOUT 30
DEFAULT JetsonIO
MENU TITLE L4T boot options
LABEL primary
MENU LABEL primary kernel
LINUX /boot/Image
INITRD /boot/initrd
APPEND ${cbootargs} quiet root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 fbcon=map:0 net.ifnames=0
# When testing a custom kernel, it is recommended that you create a backup of
# the original kernel and add a new entry to this file so that the device can
# fallback to the original kernel. To do this:
#
# 1, Make a backup of the original kernel
# sudo cp /boot/Image /boot/Image.backup
#
# 2, Copy your custom kernel into /boot/Image
#
# 3, Uncomment below menu setting lines for the original kernel
#
# 4, Reboot
# LABEL backup
# MENU LABEL backup kernel
# LINUX /boot/Image.backup
# INITRD /boot/initrd
# APPEND ${cbootargs}
LABEL JetsonIO
MENU LABEL Custom Header Config: <HDR40 User Custom [2021-08-31-140311]>
LINUX /boot/Image
FDT /boot/kernel_tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00-user-custom.dtb
INITRD /boot/initrd
APPEND ${cbootargs} quiet root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 fbcon=map:0 net.ifnames=0 isolcpus=1
I think there will be appear when I cat the /proc/cmdline, but it does not work
(base) nano@nano-desktop:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
tegraid=21.1.2.0.0 ddr_die=4096M@2048M section=512M memtype=0 vpr_resize usb_port_owner_info=0 lane_owner_info=0 emc_max_dvfs=0 touch_id=0@63 video=tegrafb no_console_suspend=1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 debug_uartport=lsport,4 earlyprintk=uart8250-32bit,0x70006000 maxcpus=4 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 lp0_vec=0x1000@0xff780000 core_edp_mv=1125 core_edp_ma=4000 gpt tegra_fbmem=0x800000@0x92ca9000 is_hdmi_initialised=1 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x70006000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 fbcon=map:0 net.ifnames=0
So, after reboot the system, all of the cpu cores were used.
Can you tell me what should I do to realize the isolation?
