Agenda: *Community update - Jan *Dovetail, CXP and EVL update - Philippe *Customer feedback - Fino *Open *Community update Xenomai porting to kernel 5.4 for ARM/ARM64 is coming soon. *Dovetail, CXP and EVL update Xenomai on Dovetail - Several crashing issue are being fixed. - Adding test tool from EVL to Xenomai. Extending latency test for GPIO. - X86 code ready within several days. - Then switch to ARM/ARM64 porting. - PowerPC is not supported by Dovetail. Community can chime in as needed. - Early delivery in Feb. CXP - The idea is to simplify the project Not provide more than what we can sustain, and Not provide no used features - Still lack of feedback in community. EVL - Support POSIX on EVL core - Plan to port RTDM to EVL - Concern on drivers - RT Network stack shall leverage as much the native stack rather than creating everything from the ground up. *Customer feedback Some PRC Xenomai customers feedback: - Generally OK to port to POSIX API if no functionality and performance downgrade; - Some customer is using Alchemy API "rt_task_*" since Xenomai 2. The customer is ok to port to POSIX API; - RTDM drivers used for GPIO, SPI, Serial, PCIe Can card, IgH EtherCAT, etc. Next community call: Feb 10, 2021 Thanks, Rick
