Phil Daly updated the group on developments in real-time Linux. There are now 130 devices supported by COMEDI and LabVIEW looks set to support the NI cards via this route. The principal advances for RTLinux and RTAI were ports to other architectures (x86, PowerPC, ), 2.4 kernel support and integrated debugging tools.
Luca Fini talked about the effectiveness of Linux in embedded (industrial) applications by presenting two ways to build a protocol converter. He made comparisons between an implementation based on a PLCSBC running a proprietary RTOS and a PC running Linux. Luca discussed a few details of how to realize a small footprint Linux system and how to cope with special devices used in embedded systems such as flash memory and non-standard interfaces. He stressed some aspects relating to the software development process.
Dave Mills updated the group on recent open source product releases (see http://www.sourceforge.net) and described implementing software guiders and auto-focus tools using Linux, SDL, and frame-grabbers. Dave also provided free CDs of TurboLinux and Linux for Astronomy.
Peter Teuben gave a talk about Beowulf clusters that covered the basic issues in applications needing such a beast and some tips on building one. It was clear that there was considerable interest within the BoF regarding Beowulf clusters.
The BoF concluded with an `ask a guru' session, with the audience asking such Linux related questions as:
One audience member also pointed out that the headquarters of the Free Software Foundation was just around the corner from the conference hotel!
