[etherlab-users] Etherlab compatibility with specific kernel versions

[Jürgen Kunz]

Hi Ankit,

what are the real time requirements of your application? You may try the
RT-Preempt kernel and have a look if it fulfil the real time
requirements. It is much easier to develop real time software with it,
as with Xenomai or RTAI. We use the 3.2er Debian RT-Preempt Kernel from
the Debian repository in Ubuntu 12.04 to control a 4 to 6 DoF robot arm
with joint elasticity in combination with Orocos to build up the real
time control and ROS for network communication between different parts
of our software, and it works well.

Regards,
Jürgen
