Kernel used in firmware

  • Rise Of The Ancient Thread.


    (1) Linux can be real time. rtlinux for example.

    (2) Even if the profiler did run linux, this doesn't mean the code that actually does any of the dsp or profiling needs to be open sourced.

    (3) Since it doesn't, this point is moot.

    (4) Linux previously used a O(n) ATT/BSD style scheduler up until Kernel 2.6, when it was replaced briefly with an O(1) scheduler - It was overhauled in kernel 2.6.23 and replaced with a CFS scheduler. Again, all of this is moot because of (1) and (3).

    (5) Neat conversation though. I love kernel land. lol. Nerding out a bit.


    KPA Unpowered Rack, Kemper Remote, Headrush FRFR108s, BC Rich Mockingbird(s), and a nasty attitude.
