I would imagine it was nice, however, to have a userspace interrupt ISR so that flaky code could be debugged in userspace before making it into a driver?

Splitting your code between driver and application enforces a clean separation between the two, which helps maintenance, so is good on the long run. > > Can you pl comment on the reasons for deprecating rt_intr_create?

But in xenomai 3.0, rt_intr_create will certainly no longer be available. -- Gilles. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
