Torsten Koschorrek, the rtai ARM maintainer, has volunteered to do an rtai port for the Cortex-A8! But, he is tied up right now, and won't be able to dig into it until next month. Still, that actually sounds pretty good, could be a LOT faster to have an expert working on it than the opposite - like me. So, there are two possible paths, here :
One is to have rtai, but they seem to be stuck with a 2.6.20 kernel, which sounds awfully old. I wouldn't be surprised to find there is NO Beagle Board kernel that old. Another is to use the just-developed rt-linux patch from France to the 2.6.29 kernel. But, I don't know if there are any problems with using rt-linux. I gather we haven't used rt-linux for some years, now. I seem to recall there was extremely primitive support for printing messages and such from the kernel space. Anybody have comments on these points?
