Yes. There was a bug in the way the FIQ was handled in a multicore ARM 
CPU (i.e. RPi2 and RPi3) , which was causing random freezes, not much 
frequent with vanilla kernels, but much more frequent with an RT_PREEMPT 
kernel.

Finally someone (Oussama Ghorbel) took care of this and provided a patch.

Now at the OSADL (Open Source Automation Development Lab) Realtime QA 
Farm a system is under test with an uptime of 173 days, which makes it 
promising.


You may download kernel and patches from their website:
https://www.osadl.org/Profile-of-system-in-rack-7-slot-3.qa-profile-r7s3.0.html?shadow=1

I did it and it works just fine.

Another workaround for the problem can be disabling the Fast Interrupt 
Queue in the command line, playing with kernel parameters. You can find 
more details in:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29=159170=1094375#p1094375

Then, if you're new to real time under Linux, you might find handy our 
Real Time Framework (YRMX), which provides a sort of high level 
interface, robust, efficient, easy to exploit and now also fpc 
compatible, to the pthread library. You'll find a description, both in a 
pdf paper and pdf slides at:

http://www.copeca.it/OSADL/

Feel free to ask if you have more questions, or if you're interested in 
YRMX. It's GPL'd but not yet published.

You might want to try the BeagleBone Black as it might be better for 
real-time machine control (and boots up in a more standard way) than the 
Raspberry Pi?  That is what was determined by a friend (of a friend) who 
helps with Machine Kit a lot.

I noticed the "command not found" error and realized that the command
did not specify the ppcarm location. Since this is a barebones RPi3
there is no path to ppcarm yet. FPC needs to be specified.

It should have read:

make install OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/home/pi
FPC="/home/pi/dev/fpc/ppcarm"

I have stepped through the remaining lines in the script and manually
entered the commands with proper expansion of the config variables and
it seems like it does work now.

These are FPC command line options used in the Makefile to gather
information about your environment. Apparently, the compiler binary was
not found, which is the reason why it's missing before the parameters.

That's what happened when the compiler cannot be called by make. Watch:

> make: -iVSPTPSOTO: Command not found

it's a parameter list for fpc to get (from fpc -h):

  -i Information
...
  -iSO   Return compiler OS
  -iSP   Return compiler host processor
  -iTO   Return target OS
  -iTP   Return target processor
  -iVReturn short compiler version
...

[fpc-pascal] Error building FPC 3.0.2 from svn sources on RPi3

[Bo Berglund]

I have bought and initialized a new RPi3 today. It runs Raspbian
Jessie PIXEL latest version.
To install FPC I use a script file which sets up the Pi for FPC
development with FPC3.0.2 and Lazarus 1.6.4.
It automatically downloads all needed fpc and lazarus files using svn
and it also updates the system with the dependencies before starting
the download.

The script can be found here:
http://blog.boberglund.com/install_lazfpc_local_pi.sh

Before running the script I have prepared the system as follows:
1) Created directory /home/pi/bin
2) Logged off, then on again to make the bin dir appear in $PATH
3) Edited the script config to reflect the wanted version FPC 3.0.2
and Lazarus 1.6.4
4) Then started the script

The script runs fine for about 19 minutes when it exits with a bunch
of error messages I don't understand. Last time I installed on a brand
new RPi3 it sucessfully ran all the way to the end.

The command that fails after a long time is:

make install OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/home/pi

What can be done about this and what is causing it?
I do not understand what -iVSPTPSOTO is...

Here is the error output:
