[En-Nut-Discussion] Fingerprints found at crime site....

[Don Ingram]

As the "nut noob in residence" I am only barely beginning to grasp what is 
happening but am deeply impressed by the presentation !!

Any more shiny pictures  ;-)



I have spent a fair chunk of the last 48 hours being dug out of bed by calls 
from the Client re issues relating to an intermittently crashing serial port 
handler thread. It obviously is able to access the onboard clock as it is able 
to ensure that the dead task occurs in the middle of the night.

Thus, lots of driving around the bush dodging various furry animals in the 
middle of the night, as when the serial port handler goes to the weeds on the 
busy units the remote VPN telnet access goes with it.

Out of the 16 units concerned there is a correlation between task death & the 
observed ethernet traffic volume at each unit. The problem has only become 
apparent when the factories got up and running fully as during the test / 
commissioning period there was very little network traffic & the problem either 
didn't present itself or we weren't looking hard enough.


My eyeballs are hanging around my kneecaps from lack of sleep & so I must offer 
my sincere congratulations and gratitude on a fine piece of work by all 
concerned over the last week.

At present I am just getting familiar with nutos at the app programmer level, 
with bit of luck and a lot more hours in the seat I would like to be able to 
return the favour at some time in the future.

Cheers

Don
