Preparing Linux Real-Time Kernel and Tuning Robotics Platform with Modern ARM64 SoC - Krzysztof Kozlowski, Linaro
While most of Real-Time Linux kernel patches (PREEMPT_RT) are already mainlined, there are still some tasks to do before such Linux kernel can be deployed on actual hardware and used in Real-Time cases.
The talk will show experiences, troubles and tricks experienced during preparing and testing a mainline (v6.1 currently) kernel with PREEMPT_RT patches for Qualcomm Robotics RB5 platform (equipped with 8-core Qualcomm QRB5165 SoC):
1. Configuring the kernel,
2. Testing - which config options and tools are useful,
3. Bugs - where to expect them, what do they mean, what the tools are going to report,
4. System tuning - kernel parameters, cgroups,
5. Real-Time evaluation and stress testing.
