/rpi_preempt_rt

Primary LanguageShell

Simple utilities for crosscompiling the Linux kernel for a RPI host and setting it up. Used to automate the software setup for the WheeBBot robot.

On the host pc (crosscompiling kernel):

  • Go to https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start, click on "Latest Stable Version" and look for the name of the most recent stable kernel

  • Run git clone git@github.com:AndPatr/rpi_preempt_rt.git

  • Edit setup_rpi.bash with the name of the kernel you want to crosscompile

  • Run ./crosscompile.bash

  • Push the newly compiled .deb packages to github

On the PI:

  • Generate an ssh key for the Pi with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com" and add it to your Github account

  • Run git clone git@github.com:AndPatr/rpi_preempt_rt.git

  • Go inside rpi_preempt_rt and run ./setup_rpi.bash → the RPI will reboot to load the new rt kernel
