Adeos/I-pipe is not implementing such services in order to remain lean. It is considered the job of the Adeos user (like Xenomai or your own domains) to handle this. What Adeos provides are means to stall as many domains along the pipeline as required to execute critical sections like for implementing interdomain communication services. > > But when went through Adeos related papers and > documents, I found that Adeos is mainly used for > harware sharing among multiple OSes or domains but > alone does not provide tasking, communication, etc. So > do you think > can we implement communication mechanism similar to > xenomai pipes for Adeos domain and Linux domain > communication or is it worth using Xenomai? That depends on how much more high-level services you may want to use (now or in the future). From a certain point on, re-implementing things becomes silly. If this is just about a basic pipe-like IPC for a simple scenario like yours, it could make sense to write your own variant, skipping all other services of the Xenomai core that may remain unused on your target anyway (and their overhead).
