I believe the BeagleBone Black MachineKit uses one of the RT kernel modifications. However, it's the two PRU processors inside the Beagle that make it possible to run stepping motors and decode encoders.
It actually boggles my mind that decades after say OS-968K, VRTX-86 RTOS or for that matter the RTOS I wrote in University that something like Linux doesn’t have a RT Kernal and that if you didn’t want RT capability that then you'd have flavours off the main line for that. Perhaps so much of the internal Linux code would be broken with badly written code that has priority inversions etc. and would therefore be broken that it continues down the path of non-real time. Simply mind boggling.
