Hi Good day everyone. I have questions about "xenomai-runtime" package that can be installed in Ubuntu using "apt-get install". xenomai-runtime relies on libxenomai1. It is recommended to have "linux-patch-xenomai" too. I can understand why it needs libxenomai1 library but I cannot figure out how it can patch the Linux kernel to be real time. I assume it is still needed to patch "adeos I-pipe" into the kernel to make it real time. The package information states that the "linux-patch-xenomai" package is just an adeos I-pipe patch, but the Linux source has to be virgin source code from mainstream kernel. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/xenomai-runtime
First will that patch is for new kernel compilation? I think the question I have is already asked. I guess I am repeating Robinson's question below. https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-08/msg00309.html I assume that package uses Xenomai 2.5.5.2-1. Since it is Ubuntu Natty, its Kernel is 2.6.35+ or can even be 2.6.38 (but from this forum, I learned that the latest adeos I-pipe linux kernel patch was 2.6.35. So which is the latest and greatest xenomai. Am I right? My other question is that can I compile a 2.6.38 kernel, drivers and rootfile system with Ubuntu Natty, since that patch and xenomai-runtime do not limit the kernel number. Can it be possible to build an Ubuntu with 2.6.38 real time kernel based on Xenomai. I will be glad if anyone can kindly share or point me to documentation for xenomai-runtime. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Adeos-main mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/adeos-main
