Preempt-RT Raspberry Pi Linux
summary
Preempt-RT is merged into a Raspberry Pi kernel branch (rpi-4.14.y-rt) and tested on a Pi 3 Model B using cyclictest. Measured worst-case latencies fall from about 3.6 ms on stock kernels to ~2.6 ms with PREEMPT and to ~150 μs with the RT patchset when a CPU core is isolated and IRQs are pinned. Work surfaces: shared-interrupt drivers, occasional USB lockups and merge friction with upstream commits; cross-build and distro config tweaks are needed but the RT build runs and lowers latency.
