Hi guys,

Is it possible to run Real-Time applications on Raspberry Pi (specially in Ada)? Yesterday I began to read the RPi documentation, and discovered that several (actually all that I found) I/O libraries available to access GPIOs (mostly written in C and Python) are not Real-Time, and even the Raspbian Debian distribution is not intended to run RT applications, so it's not built for it. 

One idea could be using the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT Linux patch, so I think I would have to recompile the Raspbian kernel. Is it reliable for an ARM11? I mean, can I work on it as an RTOS-like this way? And also I think that I would have to rewrite the I/O libraries (no problem, but it's also an overhead).

Or the other option could be using a real RTOS. I've seen some posts about ChibiOS/RT, Xenomai and FreeRTOS, but they don't seem to have Ada available. 

So I would much appreciate your opinions.

Best regards,
Rego.
