The beta kernel is available for free for personal use via Ubuntu Pro.
To attach your personal machine to a free Pro subscription, run: pro attach <free token>.
To enable the real-time beta kernel, run:
pro enable realtime-kernel --beta
Please note you will need to manually configure grub to revert back to your original kernel after enabling real-time.
For more information:
pro help realtime-kernel
I’m currently using Linux metis 5.15.0-1009-realtime #9-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_RT Thu Apr 21 20:33:36, how do I update this version?
Once RT is enabled, are there any examples how to use the real-time features in C++?
Hi @adibaccoks welcome to Ubuntu Discourse.
Please note we recently expanded our Ubuntu Advantage offering to Ubuntu Pro. I updated the instructions above accordingly.
To access an older version of the real-time kernel, first run:
pro enable realtime-kernel --access-only and then apt install the exact packages of the desired version.
Supplying just the name ‘ubuntu-realtime’ or ‘linux-image-realtime’ to apt will cause the latest version to be installed. For older versions, the specific package name needs to be used (e.g. linux-image-5.15.0-1009-realtime).
Hi @kshepitzki welcome to Ubuntu Discourse.
You may find this material from the Linux Foundation helpful when building your real-time applications:
In general, we do not provide code examples. We provide the underlying platform to our partners, who architect the overall hardware/software system, as we have no control/understanding of their environment.
Interesting
