Re: [Xenomai-core] Newbies developer instructions

Thanks Jan,


I'm working on an academic course which I will teach next semester on
Real Time system, in which I will bring both VxWorks and Xenomai as Hard
RT systems as an example.

Therefore it will be only natural for me to work on porting some
examples to VxWorks skin at first.

My plan is to implement the same operation in few methods:

- Using VxWorks skin

- Creating a driver (RTDM)

- Using POSIX API

Then document the Functions flow from the skin/RTDM calls down to the HAL.


Nevertheless,

_*Paul*_,  If I can assist you with the Xenomai LiveCD please contact me
and I will be happy to help.


As for the test suite I plan to give it as a project to one of my
students (What do you think?).


As soon as I'll fill
