For this blog inauguration, I decided to submit an article aiming to help the many people working with Real Time Systems. I'm currently working with Real Time at the RAC (Robótica Académica de Coimbra) for the second part of my M.Sc. Project. The software i'm working on, runs on soccer player robots endowed of an embedded computer. For the first part, I developed a software module in C that (very very briefly describing) makes the robots be able to respond to velocity commands from the tactic module of the team, produce a trajectory refered to the world's axis, and control its trajectory making it converge to the desired one. Mabe I'll post an article that I already created about this later.
As for the RTAI installation guide, I compiled all the information that helped me to get my system up and running. I also detailed the kernel configuration step, since i know that this is not an easy process at all.
Here is the link for my tutorial: RTAI_Instalation_Guide.pdf
Feel free to give me feedback on this guide and ask questions.
Best Regards to all!

Hello Joao
Thanks again for your guide. I followed your procedure for installing the RTAI and have successfully completed it.
I used kernel version 2.6.23.12 with RTAI 3.6. I used gcc 4.1.3 and everything compiles without error. For the .config file, I used the .config file for Ubuntu Server 7.10 as template.
I did not have APIC option that you mentioned in your tutorial so after installing everything, RTAI complaied with the same error, i.e., "APIC CONFIGURED BUT NOT AVAILABLE" and I used "root=/dev/sda1 ro lapic" in the menu.lst. That solved it.
Thanks again for such a good tutorial.
