[rtl] fifo question

2000-07-12 Thread daniel sheltraw
Hello RT world Does a fifo have to be created (using rtf_create or equivalent) in kernel-space before it can simply be opened for reading in user-space? The reason I ask is that I have been unable to open the /dev/rtf0 fifo in user-space. I am actually running the user-space program as root and

2000-07-12 Thread Herman Bruyninckx
We are trying to make MiniRtl floppies with Comedi drivers. But Comedi seems to need the libc, which is a couple of megabytes big. Is there another, much smaller ``embedded'' libc available? Is newlib from Cygnus such an alternative? Would it be possible to use it together with Comedi? -- [EMAIL
