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:

Regards.
