Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/837019/rss

Realtime application development under Linux requires care to make sure
that the critical realtime tasks do not suffer interference from other
applications and the rest of the system. During the Embedded
Linux Conference (ELC) 2020
, John Ogness presented a checklist (slides
[PDF]
) for realtime developers, with practical recipes to
follow. There are a lot of tools and features available for realtime
developers, even on systems without the RT_PREEMPT patches applied.
