<"linux-rt-users" <linux-rt-us...@vger.kernel.org> Subscribe to that list. Itd a front row seat to the linux rt kernel working group. You aren't looking very hard John. I have built the kernels that are posted to the above list on a rock64, intended to run on that rock64, but could not locate the info to let me install it on a u-boot system. It takes about an hour using a usb3 attached drive for workspace. Un forch, the drive died and took all that with it, bumming me seriously out. I may yet at some point, see how long it takes to build on an rpi3b. But given the rpi's internal usb-2 bottleneck speed, likely a day or so. I am looking around for a usb2-sata adapter and I'll try it on a 60 GB SSD. The usb spinning rust drive redefines slow, gotta be something faster about. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: andy pugh [mailto:bodge...@gmail.com] > > Sent: June-22-18 5:47 AM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > Subject: [Emc-users] Raspberry Pi PREEMPT-RT > > > > I haven't seen this mentioned here.
