Topic RTAILinux not in WebOrder RTAI-Linux (Part One)
- RTAI has two possible implementations
- Real time hardware abstraction layer RTHAL (kernel patch)
- Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems ADEOS by Philippe Gerume
ADEOS is (not yet) available on PowerPC platform so RTHAL is assumed below
- RTAI functionality is modularized. Functionality can be added by loading apropriate module:
- RTAI module
- Scheduler (only UP on PowerPC)
- Shared memory
- FIFOs
- Mailboxes
- POSIX
- RTAI is started by loading kernel module rtai.o (needs patched kernel)
