Machinekit already runs on x86 machines, the BeagleBone, and the Raspberry Pi. Now GP Orcullo
reports he has Machinekit running on the Odroid C1 using rt-preempt. There are no hardware drivers yet, but it shouldn't take long to port GPIO access and get some motors moving. If you're interested, there's a link to a bootable Debian Wheezy image
in the Machinekit list post.
I'm anxiously waiting for boards based around all the new Big/Little parts coming out, which combine Cortex-A cores for good OS performance and Cortex-M parts for real-time tasks. Then there's the BeagleBoard X15 coming out soon with Big/Little + DSPs + PRUs! Exciting times in the ARM world!
This here is not directly machine kit stuff, but a Sanyo Denki is already running on the odroid-c1. Here is a video of a timelapse rail using odroid-c1 with preempt_rt on
