Setup a RaspberryPi for hardio

Installing the operating system

You can install many linux distributions on the RaspberryPi. In this tutorial, we chose to install Rasbian.

How to setup rasbian

Changing the linux kernel to RT linux

After instaling the operating system, we should change the kernel to apply the PREEMPT_RT patch.

How to install RT linux

Install the RasberryPi toolchain

It is recommended to setup a toolchain that will allow you to compile your projects on your computer.
