Unless you've got a specific realtime task that you'd like to discuss,
I'm not sure that there's much to talk about at the moment. I did find
the manifesto on the page that you mentioned to be a very good discussion
of the issues involved, so thanks for the link.
It occurs to me that FIQ interrupts are a good candidate for dealing with
some hard realtime requirements. Because FIQs have a seperate mask bit in
the cpsr, I think they should be able to interrupt pretty much anything
going on in Linux. You'd need to arrange for a driver to communicate with
the FIQ thread in a way that only blocks FIQs in a deterministic way, of
course. Does that help you at all?
Cheers,
