Is the Raspberry Pi line of Linux computing cards, including the
just released Pi 3, useful for aircraft systems I/O, control, and
display?

we unleashed the original 256MB Raspberry Pi Model B on a largely
unsuspecting world. Since then, we've shipped over ...

It runs Linux and Linux is multi-user and multitasking so the
program has no absolute control over  the timing.

You are much better off with a Color Maximite.

Google that.

Paul, the Raspberry Pi runs whatever you put on it. There are other
approaches to timing-critical realtime operating systems than the
Maximite. RPi is the basis of a very competent systems/display suite
being developed by Mark Spencer, xfs.aero

David Josephson

I was talking EFI. EFIS does not have to be real time. Windows would work.
Nowhere in the xfs info do they say what kind of OS if any they are running.
It is just a bunch of claims with no real info.

I'll bet they are still running Linux on the Raspberry.

Nothing to download let alone operating system commands if any.
Show me :-)

Contrast that with the megabytes of  stuff you get from
