Problems with building RT kernel

Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:26 pm

Hi!

I want to learn about real time applications using the raspberry pi.
Found this guide on how to compile the rasbian kernel with rt patch. I also want to enable USB touchscreen support.

Tried cross compilation with the fedora version of arm-linux-gnu- and of course the raspi tools (arm-linux-gnueabihf-).
Now booting freezes before login. It detects usb stuff, but doesn't continue booting.
If I comment out the kernel= line in /boot/config.txt it boots the old kernel properly.

I tried compiling the kernel without patching and enabling PREEMPT_RT_FULL, just enabling touchscreen support. That works just fine.

Does anyone have an idea what to try next?

Any help is appreciated.

I got confused about the tools directory. Edited the main post to describe where I am at now...
