Hi, at "http://www.aero.polimi.it/~rtai/"; you'll find rtai-24.1.9, likely a major release again. What's new: - Port to ARM (Guennadi Liakhovetski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Thomas Gleixner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Alex Zuepke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - soft FP emulation, already working with ARM, not ported yet to other architectures (Thomas Gleixner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - Port to Coldfire-m68knomm, not really brand new but now merged in the RTAI CVS and distribution (Bernhard Kuhn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - PPC CVS and distribution should be aligned with Denk's distribution (Wolfgang Denk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Wolfgang Grandegger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - support of NI-E-DAQ in RTW (Lorenzo Dozio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - fifos kernel APIs usable from within hard LXRT, useful to avoid an agent for simple communications with Linux processes (Thomas Leibner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - alpha porting of rtnet to rtai-24.1.xx/linux-2.4.xx (David Schleef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - improved C++ support (Erwin Rol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - improved making with many parametrizations, e.g. generic apic mapping, non tsc machine understood automatically, experimental code and applications highlighted (David Schleef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Robert Schwebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). N.B. Generic apic mapping contributed by Jan Kiszka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. - many examples are now parametrized, latency calibration results can be recorded and displayed (Robert Schwebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) - native long intertask messages in RTAI schedulers and net distributed applications - eavesdropping of receiving fifos content, i.e. previewing while leaving everything unchanged - bits synchronization, i.e. semaphores on event masks - possibility of killing hard real time user space processes - some so called "minor" bug fixes - kernel support up to Linux 2.4.18. Once more you can see a many hands work, both from individuals and companies, and a lot of work done in a relatively short time. There has been also a significant development behind the curtains for improving RTAI making and layout. So even if only people that contributed items specifically mentioned in the above list are evidenced you should thank all of the RTAI developers for this release. Ciao, Paolo. _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/armlinux/mailinglists.php Please visit the above addresses for information on this list.
