https://github.com/NTULINUX/RTAI Is the last stable RTAI. linux-3.16.52 is the latest kernel it supports. We have it working with Gentoo and Scientific Linux and it should work with any version of Debian. It will support all the old hardware with LPT and software stepping.
Everything newer at rtai.org is unstable beta as Seb has proven. If some big funded project comes along we might make it stable. >From here on out preempt_rt may be used on newer hardware but leaves software stepping with LPT questionable. It might be fine on some hardware but much to slow on others. -Bari On 5/22/19 1:20 PM, Chris Morley wrote: > From: andy pugh <[email protected]> > Sent: May 22, 2019 12:31 PM > To: EMC developers > Subject: [Emc-developers] Release Platforms > >> We have a problem... >> We need a 2.7 LiveCD that works. >> We will need a 2.8 LiveCD that works. > Thanks for tackling this Andy. > > I would not give up the option for RTAI lightly.
