About Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time Kernel
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time Kernel is designed to enable fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. The major increase in the consistency of results can, and should, be achieved by tuning the standard kernel. The real-time kernel enables gaining a small increase on top of increase achieved by tuning the standard kernel.
The real-time kernel is available in the
rhel-7-server-rt-rpms repository. The Installation Guide contains the installation instructions and the rest of the documentation is available at Product Documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time.
The can-dev module has been enabled for the real-time kernel
The
can-dev module has been enabled for the real-time kernel, providing the device interface for Controller Area Network (CAN) device drivers. CAN is a vehicle bus specification originally intended to connect the various micro-controllers in automobiles and has since extended to other areas. CAN is also used in industrial and machine controls where a high performance interface is required and other interfaces such as RS-485 are not sufficient.
The functions exported from the
can-dev module are used by CAN device drivers to make the kernel aware of the devices and to allow applications to connect and transfer data.
Enabling CAN in the real-time kernel allows the use of third party CAN drivers and applications to implement CAN-based systems. (BZ#1328607)
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
