As I understand it, the MachineKit was forked from an earlier version of LinuxCNC and LinuxCNC requires a real time kernel to run.
Why is it that the real time kernel hasn't become a basic part of Linux so that the orphan Linux is the one without the kernel? Surely by now we've moved past the 486DX4-100 level of processors. IC've written an RTOS for an 8 bit NEC78C10, worked with VRTX RTOS on x86 CPUs and written software for Motorola MC68070 processors running OS9-68K. The ARMs and current crop of PCs are orders of magnitude faster and more powerful so why is it that the real time part of Linux isn't the defacto standard for Linux. If it were wouldn't the latest LinuxCNC run on just about anything? Seems a simple question. Is there a simple answer?
