Ciao,
at http://www.rtai.org (and at http://www.aero.polimi.it/~rtai/ as well)
you'll find rtai-3.2-test3.
This is intended to be the last test release for 3.2. If nothing really
bad is reported the final release will follow in a short time (and work
toward 3.3. will be resumed in magma)
Main variations/improvments:
- finished new user space interrupt support (USI), now fully native
within the scheduler;
- more straightforward rescheduling (when configured to happen at the
end of isrs);
- Linux syscalls from hard real time can be passed to a user installed
server, to avoid switching back/forth hard real time;
- new RTAI proper message queues, including tbx compatibility;
- added priority inheritance to blocking asyncronous intertask messages;
- code cleaning;
(Paolo Mantegazza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
- USI support on ARM (so it should be fairly portable);
- Linux hard syscall server for ARM (not all possible syscalls supported
yet);
- added info about ADEOS based ARM patches used for RTAI;
- reworked tests to ensure they are OK on low end CPUs;
- safer checker/installer for piped/immed modes;
- improvments to general (arch independent) code to enhance portability;
- fixed a dubious piece of code in oneshot timing (only when using the
Linux timer);
- support for PXA now working on some Linux-2.6.7. patch provided.
(Luca Pizzi, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Stefano Gafforelli,
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), with on CVS support from
Michael Neuhauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
- improved block icons on Scicos/Scilab;
- further support for distributed RTAI-Lab applications on Scicos/Scilab;
(Roberto Bucher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
- possibility of chosing between piped/immediate interrupt dispatching
now fully visible (ARM/x86).
(Michael Neuhauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Paolo Mantegazza
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
Moreover PPC compiles for Linux 2.6.10 now, though there is no chance it
works yet. More infos on this likely to come to this lists soon.
Paolo.
