The board I use has a Cortex-A8 / ARMv7 compatible OMAP3530(DM3730) core.

Could this explain why there is only a linux-patch-kernel 2.5.5.2 package available ? A discrepancy is btw, that from the Ubuntu armhf repository kernel 3.2.0 is loaded while xenomai 2.5.5.2 only supports kernel 2.6. Yes, I'm trying to use the 3.5.7 kernel since this is supported by the latest 2.6.3 xenomai. On x86 it runs great, but so far on my BeagleBoard-xM with ARMv7 core, the kernel doesn't start properly. I don't think that has anything to do with xenomai though. _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
