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 bui=
lt for it.=20

One idea could be using the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT Linux patch, so I think I wou=
ld have to recompile the Raspbian kernel. Is it reliable for an ARM11? I me=
an, can I work on it as an RTOS-like this way? And also I think that I woul=
d 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=
.=20

So I would much appreciate your opinions.

Best regards,
Rego.
