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

(* Or wasn't until a week or so ago, at least. https://www.zdnet.com/article/20-years-later-real-time-linux-makes-it-to-the-kernel-really/)

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.

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

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.
