Thanks, I am currently looking at this and I will try to get back with feedback and patches when I find the time.
Some early notes:
* It's a bit unclear the relation between dovetail and evl. It's not obvious that dovetail
is available for Xenomai 3 depending on kernel version.
* The Xenomai3 installation page [1] mixes "--ipipe" and "--dovetail" where "--ipipe"
is used in the black box and "--dovetail" in the list below.
* The installation page [1] only talkes about the "prepare-kernel.sh" approach. I always
found that approach a little error prone because it is necessary to find a kernel matching
the version to patch. Perhaps it is better these days but for very special hardware it
used to be hard to find the exakt version as time went by. So, it seems like the simpler
approach is to check out the git-versioned variant available in the tree. Perhaps the
installation page could mention the git-tree approach.
