I however know the ARM Cortex-M* model have a nested interrupt controller with priority and with priorities set correct it is possible to implement rate-monotonic scheduling in hardware with this. I works fo simple systems and there are quite few threads in linuxcnc although more might be needed for the communication. The highet end ARMs to my knowledge lack this interrupt controller. They are fast but lack the hardware to rely on any theory for real time tasks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
