Hi Herman,
If you can live with soft real-time, you should use LXRT in its soft
mode. This allows a student to write programs using the same RT API as
for kernel modules, but with the full protection of running as a
standard Linux process. Note that you will need to have the RTAI
modules installed (rtai, lxrt etc) before hand. As this needs root
priviledge (for insmod etc), you may want to do that as part of the boot
up process (rc.local ??)
Regards, Stuart
