I do exactly this. Lots of devices. I think that the linux-rt kernel is in no way a true real time kernel. Meaning with absolute and consistent delays between events and when they can be handled by interested agents. I recall that this RT kernel was targeted to stock trading companies that felt a fraction of a second delay meant potential loss because actions (buy sell whatever) did not happen as close to the calculation time as possible. I never did see why a rt kernel solved that and not perhaps better calculation methods and generally faster computers. I am sure there was some good reason.
So, the question remains: what does the openSUSE -rt kernel bring to the table?
Well, you should see how it is in Windows :) By real-time I meant soft-real time. -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
