 # Realtime Kernel for Ubuntu 18.4
 
-These are deb packages built for Ubuntu Bionic.
+These are `deb` packages built for Ubuntu Bionic.
 
-Used Kernel sources:
-- kernel `linux-5.4.19-rt11_5.4.19-rt11.orig.tar.gz`
-- realtime patch `linux-5.4.19-rt11_5.4.19-rt11-1.diff.gz`
+## Information
 
-Kernel config:
-- Preemption Model: Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT)
+The kernel is built automatically by the CI from the [linux kernel sources](https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/) version 5.4, using the latest kernel version for which a [real time patch](https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.4/) is available. For more information on how the kernel is built, please review the `compile.bash` script.
 
+It's `config` file is based on the config provided by a Unbuntu Bionic installation with two changes:
+- The `preemption model` ist set to `Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT)`.
+- `Compile the kernel with debug info (DEBUG_INFO)` is set to `no`.
+
+Before the build, if the new kernel version contains new config keys, the corresponding values are set to their defaults.
+
+## Installation
+
+- **⚠ ATTENTION** Make sure secureboot is disabled. Currently, the compiled kernel is unsigned and thus, will not work with secureboot.
+- **⚠ ATTENTION** The repository does not contain the kernel packges, they are built by the CI and and can be downloaded.
+- [Download the latest kernel packages built by the CI](https://git-st.inf.tu-dresden.de/ceti/realtime-kernel/-/jobs/artifacts/ci/browse?job=build-kernel).
+- Install the packages using `dpkg -i`.
+
+## Verifying that the Realtime Kernel is Running
+
+- Reboot after kernel installation, selecting the new kernel in the boot loader.
+- Run `uname -a`, the result should contain the kernel version number from the installed `deb` package as well as `PREEMPT RT`.
+
+## Set User Permissions
+
+- Add a group named realtime and add the user controlling your robot to this group:
+    ```
+    sudo addgroup realtime
+    sudo usermod -a -G realtime $(whoami)
+    ```
+- Add the following limits to the realtime group in /etc/security/limits.conf:
+    ```
+    @realtime soft rtprio 99
+    @realtime soft priority 99
+    @realtime soft memlock 102400
+    @realtime hard rtprio 99
+    @realtime hard priority 99
+    @realtime hard memlock 102400
+    ```
+- Log off and on again to let the group assignment and realtime priorities take effect (or, to be safe, restart). Use the command `groups` to check if the the current user belongs to the realtime group.
