Do you know what this means?

Change the real time engine of EMC2 into a FPGA image and run the real time
parts of EMC2 is real, real time. If they provide a header for direct access to
the FPGA core and don't require us to go through the NorthBridge, memory bus,
then PCI bus to get at the data, it would mean we could have real time motion
control tied to a real clock with the CPU free to do other things and not being
tied up serving requests from the real time engine and the rest of Linux.
I'm no expert on RTAI or EMC2. But I may be to take advantage of this. I use
FPGA's for camera controllers and let me tell you they allow you to do some
amazing things and for a class of problems it's like turning the world upside
down.
