Most cars already run on Linux

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

To a degree yes, but this madman probably has the ECU running Linux.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Linux is not a real-time OS*. For a car ECU, something like Speeduino would be a more appropriate choice.

That’s the joke 😉

You could certainly do it but let’s hope that fuel injection timings and realtime system response aren’t that important to you.

Worked with the guy, he was a true kernel monster.

That's really cool! Do you know of real-world systems using this?

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Know some router platforms that used this and vfio to implement dpdk switching and routing under a Linux control plane.

Brilliant guys worked on that, think some of the smartnics like Amazon and oracles use it too.
