But, of course, the main problem is there is STILL no RTAI port for the Beagle or other OMAP CPUs. There is an rt-Linux port that was done by some French guys, but there was some question about whether EMC2 still supports the rt_Linux version of the RT interface, it apparently hasn't been tested in a number of years. If somebody wanted to test that on the X86 platform, it shouldn't be more than a weekend project to see if it compiles and runs in that environment. If it does, then it ought to port to the Beagle, up to the point of not having a parallel port. I have the fix for that, but would need to write a little driver to replace hal's parport.c for the Beagle pinout.
