Dear xenomai people,

I would like to have a shared ram fifo between a normal Linux program
and a xenomai program that uses the POSIX skin. Can I simply use
__raw_shm_open and __raw_mmap in the xenomai thread, or would there be
some penalty or bad side affect on the RT thread?

I see that the documented way for RT/non-RT IPC is the message
pipe. Perhaps you could comment on the pros/cons of using it, compared
with my shared memory idea.

Thanks,

Richard
