I've been struggling with this for a while, and may be at the point of purchasing a new computer, so I figured I'd check if anyone knew.

In configuring RTAI 4.1 on ubuntu 14.04 with a 3.10.32 kernel (as advised by a few souces, mainly: https://github.com/ahoarau/mekabot)

The two problems we seem to have are: the ram/cpu/motherboard are not ECC compatible, and we have AMD instead of intel chips. There are multiple things (embedded cryptically in a lot of output) that say we need EEC and intel, but this would be a significant investment.

I just needed to check if anyone know before we spend the money, are ECC memory and intel chip sets absolutely necessary for RTAI 4.1?

Thank you in advance!

I would say that using the exact requirements would be a good way to go, so that you could have maximum stability on your system. You could also try to run RTAI on you AMD/non ECC systems. Before buying The processors and ECC ram

  • Thanks for your response. The problem is that it won't work, no matter what we have tried to do. Since I don't know any RTAI experts, I'm still not sure if it's a configuration problem or if these parts are 100% necessary for it to work at all – aperson Oct 16 '16 at 19:44
