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?).
