While RTLinux is a very interesting and worthwhile project it
didn't help too much :( Beyound clarifying a few things and bringing about
a few minor idea's its the wrong things for what I'm looking for.
Particularly the RT executive itself is not preemptable, the RT threads
run in a single address space as well. These are the problems I'm looking
to solve. I have some idea's but they still need formalising. Also no one
seems to be interested in Microkernel development (due to asumptions about
performance) which makes it hard to get feedback.
The main problem is this, we have a high performance Microkernel
and a fairly good back or developers and users with a couple of ports.
However no one is using it for hard real time systems sand none of us have
any background with hard real time systems so I'm at a loss.
Anyway thats probably heaps off topic so if anyone can point me to
a place I can get some information on I'd appreciate it. I've not found a
good reference point yet. RTLinux aswas the best so far as all Real Time
ARM kernels I've found have been relatively propriatry. Can any point out
some Real Time interest groups I might bother ;)

I'd be interested to hear why it didn't fit his needs, Alex?
