I suppose that since Michael Buesch beat me to the punch with something that works, I should at least mention the work I had done towards running emc on "realtime-linux".
Michael's work adopts the "rtapi_app" concept of the userspace-only simulator, but makes it work with the pthreads(?) library, which together with a patched Linux kernel has promising latency but which doesn't work with current hardware drivers. My work, which hasn't reached the stage of actually running rtapi/hal code, keeps the kernel module-based approach of the current rtai port by implementing rtai/rtapi-inspired threads and shared memory (the two main facilities required by rtapi). The hoped-for advantage is that hardware drivers would work without modification. http://git.unpy.net/view/kshm.git The current master contains beagleboard-specific code, and as you can see from the commit dates it hasn't been touched in quite some time. There's nothing there which is really useful for anything.. Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
