Actually, there is already some howto, but I guess also enough room for
improvements: http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/mitarbeiter/kiszka/rtaddon/

Yep, that's correct, it's yet another new API. Anyway, if you feel the
need for a legacy wrapper, you are welcome to add some library on top of
the RTDM profile.

BTW, timed read can be realised by setting a reception timeout for the
opened device instance, see example or profile documentation.

Nope, RTDM devices are not being mapped into the Linux file system. They
use a separate namespace where you can find serial devices as plain
"rtser[X]".

Any frequent problems falling asleep? ;)
