Some French guys did a port of either RT-preempt or RT-Linux, I now forget which. The BeagleBoard has so much potential it is quite annoying we don't have an RTAI port for it, yet. I'm plenty disappointed that it has been this long, and I am out of pocket $149 plus shipping to Germany for the Beagle I supplied to the ARM maintainer for RTAI, I guess they move at a truly glacial pace!
I know that completing a port like that was WAY out of my league. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
