Hi Stano Thanks for your reply ... > > For a new project we need to demonstrate a Linux RT-Kernel running > > a 'standard' x86 desktop PC. > > What is the goal of this presentation? The goal is to demonstrate that a communication system previously implemented on embedded digital signal processors can be implemented on a high spec PC desktop. Sorry that I can't give more details. > Are you aware that a standard desktop > PC might spoil your realtime attempts in various ways (SMI interrupts, power > management, ...)? Well, I was not aware of this until reading your email and I read ' HOWTO: Build an RT-application' on rt.wiki.kernel.org. The HowTo suggests ways of reducing the impact of SMI interrupts.
