Hello all,

I am in the process of writing a simple device driver for Xenomai 2.0 
using RTDM. I have a skeleton driver module loading and registering with 
RTDM. (I can see the entries in the /proc filesystem when the module 
loads.) I now want to write a driver validation application to exercise 
the interface, but don't know how Linux device nodes map to Xenomai 
devices. Do I have to manually create device nodes or are they built 
with udev? (I am more familiar with traditional Unix style /dev entries, 
udev is new to me.) Do Xenomai devices use the Linux filesystem layer at 
all? Does Xenomain keep a separate namespace/registry of named devices?

If I missed this in the documentation please feel free to redirect me as 
needed. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean McGranaghan
