4.9. RTAI-Linux (Part Two)
- Linux is "idle thread" for RTAI
- RTAI tasks are Linux kernel modules (actually below Linux) which never block
- Standard Linux drivers are therefore not real-time (e.g. networking)
- Memory corruption possible because kernel address space is used in real-time tasks
- LXRT (not yet available for PowerPC) allows user space real-time
- Split application in real-time part (kernel module) and rest (user space)
