List of questions and suggestions Relatively new to RTL people, I am developing an embedded control with CAN, distant access, and so on ... I have 2 questions and 2 suggestions : 1/ is there a link between jitter and NMI IRQ ? 2/ is real time disk access possible ? (from SOUND example) 3/ mails together in a downloadable file 4/ RTL in general WEB sites 1/ RTL steal the masquable interruptions but what about he NMI IRQ ? I don't know if there is a link with the jitter ? Does RTL stop interruptions when the data is accessed on to hard disk? 2/ I have tested the sound example. It works fine on my Pentium but it drops on my 386 because I've loaded it. So I think the user "cat file.au > fifo" hasn't enough time to fill the fifo (sometimes). I have fixed it by largely increasing the fifo. Can wa have a better solution? Rt access hard drive? 3/ *this* support is very useful for brief questions. I suggest an improvement could be made : put all the mails together in a downloadable file on the RTL site (each month). For beginners and the others ;) it will be a very usefull learning support. 4/ my opinion is we are in the very beginning of the rt times. In the future, all OS will include rt functions. Perhaps I am wrong but I don't see a lot of rtl links in general linux sites. A bad thing ?
