Around the website it suggests that PREEMPT_RT is available but not fully tested in Torizon OS. Is that still the case?

Hello! Yes, that is still the case. The PREEMPT_RT patches in Torizon OS are provided in an experimental state. They have only been validated with basic smoke tests and cyclictest to ensure system boot and basic RT patch functionality under stress conditions. Any additional kernel tuning or validation for your specific real-time requirements remains the responsibility of the user.

Toradex does not guarantee full functionality or provide bug fixes for PREEMPT_RT, and its RT BSPs and images are not fully validated for production use. Please refer to the following links for the most up-to-date details:
