[Xenomai-core] powerpc and fastsync

[Joshua Lamorie]

Gidday there,

I am using Xenomai-trunk on a Virtex-II Pro (PowerPC 405) using a
patched version of DENX-2.6.28.5 (using
adeos-ipipe-2.6.28.5...2.4-04.patch as a base).

This was working fine up until the beginning of April when it appears
that the configure.in and configure scripts were changed for powerpc.
The SVN revision(commit) 4681 removed CONFIG_XENO_FASTSYNCH=y.  However,
in ksrc/arch/powerpc/Kconfig, XENO_FASTSYNCH is still set to 'y'.

Is this normal?

I'm not involved with development of Xenomai, so I don't actually have a
clue about what this means.  On my 'post March 11' build I get
'(userland requires "nofastsynch nosmp", kernel provides "fastsynch
nosmp"....)'.

I have searched the mailing list archives and I can't find much mention
of this issue occurring previously.

Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations.

Joshua

No this is not normal and has been fixed in xenomai 2.5-rc1. The svn
repository is no longer used, we use git now. See http://www.xenomai.org
for details on how to fetch the code in git repositories.
