Hi, 

is there any patch allowing µClinux to be a real time OS ?

Check out RTLinux. I don't know if anyone has got it to run on NIOS, but it's worth looking into.

Here's a really great reference -- it's well worth reading: 

 

http://www.isofttech.com/downloads/linux-rtos.pdf (http://www.isofttech.com/downloads/linux-rtos.pdf

 

It presents various alternatives -- some of which are not really "real time" 

but may very well meet your requirements anyway. 

 

The uclinux patch that is often mentioned is old (and I have never tried appying 

it). Regardless, it can be found at:
