[fpc-pascal] Realtime and freepascal???

[Paul Breneman]

Hi Darius,

I can't provide very many specifics, but do have a couple of links 
(which you may already know about).  I'm looking forward to what others 
share on this *interesting* topic!

This page has two related links:
   http://www.turbocontrol.com/devoptions.htm

Those two links are these:
   http://www.machinekit.io/ - uses BeagleBone
   http://rtxi.org/

This page has two links:
   http://www.turbocontrol.com/helloworld.htm

Those two links are these:
   http://wiki.freepascal.org/linux/kernel/module_development
   http://wiki.freepascal.org/Target_NativeNT

Thanks,
Paul
