"4.19-CIP" version is suitable for typical purposes.
"4.19-CIP-RT" version offers the kernel which is improved real time performance compared with "4.19-CIP", but note that RT version do not guarantee hard real time performance such as worst response time. Please carefully consider the possibility of application to real products by doing performance evaluation with your own use-case.

  • Pros of RT version
    • Improve the accuracy of the periodic thread execution
    • Improve the worst response time to interrupt
  • Cons of RT version
    • Generally, since the number of thread transition increases, the overall system performance reduces
    • Mutual exclusion and other timings in the kernel are changed, and may cause problems with existing assets (drivers, etc.)
