the existing 'sim' build is technically no different from the '--with-threads=posix' build in the RTOS development branches the unified binary would carry RTAPI shared libraries for the whole bestiary (generic, RT_PREEMPT, Xenomai-user, RTAI-kernel) and do the right thing based on autodetection at startup > The closest would be an > rt-preempt kernel, is that standard with any distributions ?

Does rt_preempt offer sufficient latency numbers? software stepping would be a tad slow; for servo-only or hardware stepgens it should be fine - Michaell > > In any event, I'd also like to thank John Morris for this work.
