Ch RTAI

The Ch RTAI package is a Ch interface to the Realtime Application Interface (RTAI) for Linux. Ch RTAI enables users to run their real-time applications, which interact with loaded real-time task modules, interpretively without compilation under RTAI. Fig. 1 shows an implementation of the real-time architecture.
