EAGLE is a proposed multi-IFU instrument for the E-ELT, with a full multi-object AO system. Current baseline designs for this MOAO system include up to six laser guide stars and five natural guide stars. Twenty science channels will be corrected using a corresponding number of independent 84x84 actuator deformable mirrors, though the applied corrections will not be observed by the wavefront sensors. In addition to this, the E-ELT M4 mirror is also part of the AO system, and will operate in closed loop. One possible design for a real-time control system for EAGLE is presented here, based on the Durham AO Real-time Control platform (DARC). Using hardware that we have available, we will present performance results based on the implementation of a sub-set of EAGLE, a single IFU channel. This can then be replicated twenty times to obtain a full EAGLE real-time control system, since each channel is independent. We also consider the implementation of real-time control systems for other ELT instruments, and how far our approach can take us.
