Re: [Xenomai-help] CAN driver

[Roland Tollenaar <rwatollenaar@domain.hid>]

Hi,

depending on advice on my email on the tsc problem I am having I will 
now try and find out how the user-space side of xenomai is to be used. 
Make a simple structure as a Qt thread (in which I intend to write the 
application) and then dig into the CAN stuff.

So in regard to this:
>> Yeah, maybe already a link (README) from the examples repos would be

>> what they expect, what they didn't understand... (Roland?)
I will comment on as soon as I have enough insight in xenomai's typical 
usage. Before then my opinion will probably not be worth much.

Besides we are only now going to order the PEAKCAN dongle so I will only 
be able to test something next week.

Thanks.

Roland.
