Hello Ranganatha YN,

Please add "isolcpus=1-7" in bootargs, then run "saveenv" to save bootargs in SD card.

The parameter "isolcpus" insures that Linux Kernel doesn't use these CPUs for scheduling its tasks - that prevents context switching of any application running on these cores.

Thanks,

Yiping

Hello Yiping,

we try to execute the same setps when we booted from SD:

=>isolcpu=1-7

=>saveenv

=> run bootcmd

Once the kernel boots cat /proc/cmdline   -is not displaying the isolCPU.  do we need to set the 

CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, NO_HZ_IDLE=y  or any parameter in kernel menu configs. 
Thanks,
Ranga
