Hi, Xenomai installation instructions are available here: http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.6/html/README.INSTALL/ In the case of the 3.8 kernel, there is no patch yet, the patched kernel is available as a git tree: git://git.xenomai.org/ipipe-gch.git, branch for-core-3.8 If the kernel you want to use is a fork of the Linux kernel, the simplest way to get an I-pipe kernel for it is to merge the git branch above with the git branch likely provided by Altera, if you are lucky and they provide their kernel as a git branch. Now, the last issue is about modifying the I-pipe kernel to support your ARM SOC, for this you should follow the instructions here: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/I-pipe-core:ArmPorting Regards. -- Gilles. _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
