Hi Thiha,

this does not look like a LITMUS^RT-specific problem. Since you are using an ARM platform, you cannot just use the mainline LITMUS^RT kernel; you must also integrate the board-specific vendor patches, which can be tricky. Please make sure you can compile a working Linux kernel for your board (with vendor patches) before trying to integrate the LITMUS^RT patches.
