Hi Matt, I think the big thing is running on any of these systems without rebuilding linuxcnc, in other words one binary to rule tham all ... with with the rt parts as libs. This should also make it easier for windriver to support it, the porting work is smaller ( should be ... ).
I am trying to fixup preemtp-rt since we have som nasty bug with pagefaults ( in the older preempt-rt also, I confirmed yesterday ), but which should be fixable. The big plus with this is we would be able to ship prebuilt .deb packages in standard debian, since they include a preempt-rt kernel now, and also has xenomai packages. / regards, Lars Segerlund. 2013/6/25 Matt Shaver <m...@mattshaver.com>: > On Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:16:23 -0600 > EBo <e...@sandien.com> wrote: > >> I just hope the processes does not burn you to a crisp. > > This is a worry, but Seb seems to handle stress in a healthy way so I > think he'll be OK. > >> One of the few things I would like to see kept in and taken seriously >> is preempt-rt.
