since we have a more or less working 4.9 mainline kernel, I was able to apply the latest PREEMPT_RT patches against 4.9.6.
You will find the kernel sources here and a ready to extract kernel image here. If you want to modify some of the kernel configuration parameters, I can give you some advice how to do this and how to build a kernel on your own Pine64.

Cheers

Hi

I think I need some guidance as to where the files need to go and in what name.

I have been trying to substitute for files already in /boot
Image replaces /boot/pine64/Image  (that should be OK)
sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb replaces /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb  (why is it so small compared to the original? 9K v 69K)
Initrd is renamed /boot/initrd.img  (Should this now be called Initrd ?  Should it be in the same dir as the Image?)

Either using your files or building my own, boot fails and nothing written in kern.log etc.

Close but so far away at present

Looking at stuff on another forum, looks like everything has changed and the kernel.d dir goes into /boot as it is
That didn't work either.

Which image did you take to prepare the µSD card? For a mainline kernel you should take the Armbian dev build for the Pine64. At this time there are no official ones, only nightly builds.

I have been using an image based upon one of the longsleep builds.
Managed to get a 3.18 kernel to PREEMPT but not full RT.

Thanks for the steer, I have downloaded a snapshot and will look at trying builds on a new image when I get a bit of time.

Works perfectly, much prefer the /boot inside rootfs, makes things much closer to more familiar x86 layout.

Code:
root@pine64:~# uname -a

Linux pine64 4.9.6-rt4-p64-73261-g5fb7565 #2 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed Feb 8 07:45:02 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for your work putting that together, now I can start to play in earnest.

Hi umiddelb,

I want to use Pine64 as a car server where all devices are attached. I tried to make my 3G modem working but from what I see 3.10 kernel does assign serial ports for the turn the recognized modem. When I plug the modem to any mine more recent linux computers everything goes fine. So i understand this is somewhere in system/kernel problem and would appreciate if you guide me how to compile 4.9 kernel for the pine64+.

Thank you

Dmytro

P.S. I tried nightly build https://dl.armbian.com/pine64/nightly/ but it is very minimal and I even can not start wifi with it.

Hi, I set kernel  features is Preemption Model (Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT))  --> 
start the  kernel and install rtl8723bs.ko, config wifi is AP mode.
Use my phone connect pine64 wifi have a bug follows:
