Re: [ES40-developers] Idle Loop Installation

[Hittner, D. T. <dav...@ng...>]

Well, an RMS error indicates that it probably timed out while trying to execute the kitinstal (installation) procedure.
Not real suprising, given the current maturity level of ES40. We've been fighting installation stability issues for a while now.

Depending on what the IDLE software does, it may or may not help with the ES40 load. If it replaces the standard idle loop with a timed sleep, you may see some difference - otherwise, they may have implemented an 'idle' cpu instruction that they are calling that ES40 doesn't provide, so you may see no difference.
