Second thoughts on RTOS for my project

Earlier I tried to work with Wind River Linux on the UDOO. Not sure if it’s going to work, but RTAI seems like a reliable option.

Earlier this week I made a list of my options for an RTOS:

  1. Contact RedHawk Linux
  2. Try out Wind River Linux
  3. See if RIOT will cooperate, maybe need this blog post?

Just a quick update on those points:

  1. I got a reply from Red Hawk. I can call them for more information.
  2. I’ve managed to compile wrlinux. Not a clue on how to get it on the board itself, though. Wind River’s overview of Board Support Packages lists the Intex x86 series. However, this BSP does not seem to support anything from the Celeron/Braswell series (which the UDOO uses).
  3. RIOT also does not list this board as a supported platform.

So, #2 and #3 are dead ends for now. Someone at uni suggested to give RTAI a try. RTAI will patch an existing Linux kernel with real-time modules. Good starts on RTAI seem to be:
