Wow, it's nice to see you on the list. This here is the guy who made it all possible by answering my 20 questions or so about his port on RTAI. :)
Hofrat, I would consider doing that with RTLinux. It would be rather fun. I don't have a debugger for this board, which is why I had so many problems getting everything up and running. Steve P here helped me understand all that was going on and from that I was able to hack something together. It does seem to me that RTAI and RTL work so similarly to each other that I probably won't notice much performance difference between one or the other. Right now I need to figure out how to improve performance. The RTAI stuff was done for the company, while the RTLinux stuff would be for fun. The main reason I was enthusastic enough to spend a week and a half including weekends on getting RTAI up and running was to prove a point to everybody here that a real time Linux with RTL or RTAI would be the way to go for our project. Once all the bugs are worked out with RTAI I'll submit the code to Steve P and he can merge it in with the MIPS port. I used the Linux-VR kernel to do the RTAI stuff and would really like to get the patch into the latest kernel from the OSS SGI mips project. One shot mode is still broken, Steve. ;P I won't get to work on it until early next week since we have to get the rest of the demo working.
