All you need do is force all linux tasks that are not "real-time" to one processor and also the irq affinity of any irq not used in the real time env to the same. Then force your application and any irq it may use to the other processor. Works quite well. Probably no need for RTlinux. Regards Mark -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
