Re: [Xenomai-help] Scilab/Scicos code generator for Xenomai

[Edouard TISSERANT <edouard.tisserant@domain.hid>]

Hello Claudio.

I just discovered your mail. Really great work !

Why didn't you post this scoop also on the canfestival-devel mailing 
list ? I nearly missed it.

Let me try and see if all this can interoperate with Beremiz project [1] 
as well.

I will also add a link to this project on canfestival.org.

Best regards,

Edouard TISSERANT
