RE: [iPAQ] RTAI on iPAQ 3970/5450 - Questions

My understanding is that:

1. apply arm-pxa patch to vanillia linux
2. apply RTAI patch to above kernel

Is that right?

what about those changes for handheld from familiar? and I think familiar is
based on arm-pxa patch as well (right)

Can these two patches be combined (familiar and RTAI)? Is there one?

Does anybody tried RTAI running on above model and have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
