[Xenomai-core] application porting to Comedi4RTDM

[Xenomai-core] application porting to Comedi4RTDM

Hello,
Last year I developed a distributed control application on the top of RTAI and Comedi/ComediLib and I wonder if a porting job can be accomplished due to the modifications in Comedi and the use of Xenomai. Are the specific function calls still valid? How should I approach this problem.
Best regards,
Cristian.

Hi,

Sorry for answering so late (not at home, no access to my private
mails, not even able to answer your mail properly).

Even if the Comedi API has been slightly modified, the Comedi
principles remain the same. Consequently, I think you will be able to
port your application to Comedi4RTDM.

Which kernel driver are you using for your application? The first
step would be the porting of the driver on Comedi4RTDM. I am very
interested on porting legacy Comedi drivers to the new framework;
unfortunately, I have no hardware to validate the new drivers...

Concerning the user application, maybe the best way to get familiar  
with the changes in the user API would be thanks to the doxygen  
documentation. This documentation is available in the subversion trunk  
but you will have to generate it yourself.

Regards.

Alexis.
