Since interest was expressed in trying Mesanet PCI cards with the new builds:
To verify that the usermode PCI driver stuff works actually it is _NOT_ necessary to install any of the new kernels (xenomai, rt-preempt); in fact this is possible with the RTAI kernel running, or some other kernel. Really doesnt matter - I just tried with 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 which I happened to have installed and that worked fine, too. This is not integrated into rtos-integration-preview2 yet and still a bit raw-hide (I am working on it and a few days to go at most) but in case someone cant wait;): The way to do this is to configure --with-threads=posix (no RT threading, previously 'sim mode'), add --enable-drivers (that was added for hal_parport with 'sim') and turn on userland PCI support with --enable-usermode-pci. This has no discernible kernel requirements so: - pull this branch: http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/emc2-dev.git/shortlog/refs/heads/usermode-pci - sudo apt-get install libudev-dev build: cd src sh autogen.sh ./configure --with-threads=posix --enable-drivers --enable-usermode-pci make LDFLAGS="-ludev " sudo make setuid known-to-work configs are: 5i20.ini and 5i25.ini bug/success reports welcome! - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
