Real-Time Linux on Embedded Multicore Processors

Explore the implementation of real-time Linux on embedded multicore processors in this informative conference talk. Learn how to modify a standard Linux kernel with the PREEMPT-RT patch to add real-time capabilities for embedded systems. Follow a step-by-step guide from a vanilla kernel to a real-time multicore system, based on tests conducted on 8-core and 24-core hardware. Gain insights into the effects of each step on real-time behavior and understand the importance of processor architecture knowledge. Benefit from the speaker's extensive experience in migrating real-time data acquisition systems across various operating systems and hardware platforms. Discover the challenges and solutions in developing software for multicore hardware and migrating existing software to multicore systems.
