I sent Torsten Koschorrek (the ARM maintainer for RTAI) a Beagle Board last year, to help him produce a port for the OMAP3530 CPU chip on that board (Cortex A8). Unfortunately, he is still working on it. You might contact him, he may have some useful info.
If you want to support software step generation, then real time jitter is a major problem, and jitter of more than 50 us could make that unworkable. RTAI provides amazing results on modern CPUs such at the Intel Atom, usually well under 10 us.
