Michael, Thanks very much.
By "starting from just a HAL session", I mean to do something similar to the tutorial on HAL (in the HAL manual), in which you use "halrun" to load different components and to connect them together. To be able to launch a gladevcp application, so that it can be used as a interface application to arbitrary hardware or RT componentes, would be great!. I understand form your emails that this is indeed possible :) . IMO, this amount as to have a kind of simulink or labview, really easy to use but focused on RT applications running on linux compatible hardware, and ready to work with different RT systems: Hard RT -> RTAI, LinuxRT Almost Hard RT -> Preempt-RT Soft RT -> Threads I'm beginning to think that HAL, could be a package on its own, and maybe galdevcp, and any other part you to develop RT control / simulation,... to be deployed in general terms not necessarily related to machining machining applications. My thesis is that HAL high quality layer over a different RT paradigms that makes really easy to any body to work with such a kind of systems. Form my working directly with RTAI or Threads is much more complex, and I don't feel at least at the moment that I'm loosing anything important (including performance) when I'm working with HAL. I think that this can be really useful for a lot of people, not only people wiling to do machining, and that this can attract more people to work these projects, and may be to make easier the maintenance of the whole EMC ecosystem in the long term. What is your opinion?.
