I can't help you when you use buildroot ... you are adding unnecessary complexity to the problem and on the end, you will be disappointed on the RT performance with the old legacy kernel. Go for new 4.13 kernel, add appropriate RT patch to userpatches/kernel/sunxi-next/ recompile kernel and install .deb packages. Can't be more simple than this.

 

It worked!!!

Thanks.

 

Thanks a lot for the advices!!!!

Hi!

 

I would like to use RT kernel with OrangePi One SOC.

Please share an complate SD image if possible.

Thank you.

why not compile it by your own? 

I see the many post for compile, and not want to read it.

I'm a newbie, and maybe laggard.

 

Could you share info, how to use RTOS with C/C++?

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to share that I got the realtime patch working on an Orange Pi Zero on 4.18.8

I used the armbian build environment and the official RT patch.

 

A few tricky points were the CPU govenor and CPU operating points automatically switching by default, causing the realtime behavior to be really bad (max spikes around 3000 in cpu test).

By patching the device tree to only use a fixed operating point, I achieve the following output:

If anyone is interested, I used this realtime kernel to run a virtual wifi guitar amplifier on the orange pi zero.

I documented the entire thing on http://arre234.blogspot.be/2018/02/linux-portable-wifi-guitar-amp-on.html , including the device tree and cpu govenor stuff.

 

Hope this helps anyone
