As i understand it, many Android users are using the BFS patchset, and have been for a while. BFS pretty much does what "the end result of using the rt-patches" accomplish, minus rtirq, spin-locks, etc. You will get the desired responsiveness that using RT would give you. Im pretty sure that is why Zen-kernel has a git repository "very specifically" for android (BFS is the default kernel setting). I'm sure there are other goodies for android in there too. www.zen-kernel.org I don't know much about the Android repo's state (as it's fairly new). but worth a look for your "rt-usage" (ie. performance/responsiveness) for android. As i do not own an Android, i have not tested it, but i have talked with people who do.. I'm waiting to see what 2.6.35 holds for RT.... but personally i am using BFS and 2.6.34 with a lot of performance tuning (a good deal of time spent analyzing/tuning) and i am yielding better results not using the upstream rt-patches. we will see what happens in 2.6.35/36.... just my 2 cents :) cheers jordan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
