A combination of Ada, real-time Linux and an embedded computer is a costeective solution that accommodates most of the demands of embedded systemsdevelopment or prototyping. Linux in its standard conguration is not suitablefor real-time applications, but there exists solutions that modies it to be morereal-time capable. The question is, what modication is the optimal one froman Ada perspective? To answer this, a literature study has been conducted toidentify solutions, followed by an analysis that gures out the most promisingone. The selected solution has then been further evaluated and veried by benchmarksand tests running on a BeagleBone Black.The evaluation results shows that the PREEMPT_RT real-time patches for Linuxis the optimal solut...
