At the moment, as far as I know, RTDM drivers are=20 not able to communicate to POSIX written programs in every way, like it=20 does with programs written using the native API. So, if there is any=20 plan to write real-time driver (and RTDM really makes this process much=20 easier), so I would recommend using the native API instead. Unless=20 Xenomai is going to support better intercommunication between different=20 skins, if it is possible, or if someone will take the effort to maintain=20 a POSIX version of RTDM...
