Hi Howard,

Are you sure you need RTLinux? As far as I understood, because of the
RTLinux patents, the project doesn't get much interest any more. It
seems that most people are using Linux RTAI now.

As far as RTAI is concerned, it does support pxa processors (see
http://www.rtai.org/), so there shouldn't be issues using RTAI patches
on pxa iPAQs.

:-)
