[Xenomai-core] Xenomai on Efika board

[Giammarco Zacheo]

Does anybody ever tried to port Xenomai on a Efika board?

http://www.genesippc.com/efika.php

It is a freescale powerpc based board, with some patches to make linux
work on it. I have read some emails on the net talking about RTAI, so
what about Xenomai?

Is is realistic that the adeos patch blindly work on the already patched kernel?

Thank you

Giammarco

We have a MPC5200B based board running on a 2.6.23 Denx Linux Kernel,
which contains MPC5200B specific patches. Uboot support should exist
already for Efika.

There is no apparent reason why Xenomai will not run on this board as
good as on our hardware. Kernel 2.6.24 should support it out of the box
as the MPC5200B patches are now inside the official Linux kernel.


Best regards,

Daniel Schnell.

Korrekt if the board is supported by the arch/powerpc tree.

Xenomai is known to work fine on mpc52xx-based boards. It was actually
the first powerpc hardware we ever supported (on an IceCube, at that time).

It is at least realistic on a DENX kernel, since this is our reference
tree for the powerpc arch, and all recent Adeos patches against the
powerpc/ tree support the lite5200b. If your kernel tree comes from some
other vendor/manufacturer, then, you may have some failed hunks to sort
out manually, but there should not be any showstopper.
