  * - Verify that threads bound to specific cores run on those cores.

  * Test Scenarios:
- * - RT_CPUS_NR threads (T0~T(RT_CPUS_NR-1)) are created, with only T0 bound to core 0. When thread Tx is running,
- * - thread_tic[x] increments by 1; if x is equal to the core ID, thread_inc[x] also increments by 1. After the
- * - program runs for a period of time, observe the value relationship between the thread_inc and thread_tic arrays.
- * - If thread_inc[x] is equal to thread_tic[x], it indicates that thread Tx is correctly bound to core x. In this test case,
- * - only thread_inc[0] will be equal to thread_tic[0].
+ * - RT_CPUS_NR threads (T0~T(RT_CPUS_NR-1)) are created, with only T0 bound to core 0.
+ * - Each thread samples rt_hw_cpu_id() while running; T0 must stay on core 0.
