The problem: can a Linux system be constrained to deterministically control a task within some real-time-ish constraints? Sandra was tasked to use a Linux SBC to generate a pulse by asserting and deasserting a GPIO, accurate to within a fraction of a millisecond. Is it possible to control a task/thread/unit of control consistently on a standard Linux system without resorting to the Real Time patches?


There are thousands of modifications/configuration changes that one can do to a standard embedded Linux kernel, but determining which ones to modify to to give some semblance of real time control can be confusing.


This talk will illustrate what kernel configurations worked, and how kernel space code compared to user space code. Additionally, there may be other ways to skin this real time cat.


Results will be reported from work done on a Raspberry Pi as well as a BeagleBone Black.
