If anyone is still interested, it can be found as a 3-part story here: http://www.falsig.org/simon/blog/2013/03/30/real-time-linux-kernel-drivers -part-1-the-setup/ http://www.falsig.org/simon/blog/2013/07/10/real-time-linux-kernel-drivers -part-2-testing-and-first-implementation/ http://www.falsig.org/simon/blog/2013/07/10/real-time-linux-kernel-drivers -part-3-the-better-implementation/ Any comments are more than welcome - and feel free to adapt any of the code examples and put them on the wiki, if that could be of any help.
