I can recall, at least a year ago, building a xenomai enabled kernel on my severely flea weight iron laptop, which has a 1400Mhz turion cpu in it, and being rather surprised at what it was able to do at the time. Latencies were shall we say acceptable. But not having a parport, it was basically for the exercise.
Segway past two fresh installs which wiped the drive as it now has mint 14 on it. With a Mint 16 disk laying in it, no real urge but will get to it in due time when I need a remote terminal to run linuxcnc from via an ssh Y -Y connection, which if I can put up with its 768x1050 display, it actually does fairly well at. Anyway, skip that because I wanted to try it on this machine, which has a 4 core 2200 Mhz phenom in it, now several years old, along with 8Gb of dram, but running a 3.13.6 32 bit pae kernel. Grabbed the latest xenomai-2.6.3 tar,bz2, and, trying to run the prepare- kernel script against a copy of this more or less working kernel, I get to question #2 it asks me about an ipipe patch, offering /dev/null. That of course is not a satisfactory answer to that script. :( So, does anyone have a page describing how this is done for the later kernels? It sure would be nice if I could run a sim mode on this machine... Thanks. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
