[Xenomai-help] Interpreting the ksrc/arch/arm/patches directory

[Bob Feretich]

The ksrc/arch/arm/patches directory for xenomai-2.5.git shows entries
for Linux 2.6.28.10, 2.6.29, and 2.6.30 kernels. The release news for
xenomai-2.5.1 states that its "preparing support for the upcoming 2.6.33
kernel", implying that 2.6.32 is the latest kernel supported.

Am I correct as interpreting this to mean xenomai-2.5.1 supports 2.6.32
on some architectures, but for the arm architecture 2.6.30 is the latest
supported level?

Also the patches README file doesn't list the BeagleBoard as being
supported, however other news states that BeagleBoard support was added
in xenomai-2.5. Is BeagleBoard support still in xenomai-2.5.1?

Regards,
Bob

No, nothing of this kind is implied. Kernel releases may be skipped and
lack I-pipe support.

Yes.

There is no reason to remove board support.

Yes, ARM support lags behind. I need to work on that. We will probably
skip 2.6.31 et go to 2.6.32 directly.

The beagle is supported. That is a mistake in the README, and in fact,
the README should not mention any board name at all, because this is the
kind of file we always forget.

[Xenomai-help] Interpreting the ksrc/arch/arm/patches directory

[Bob Feretich]

Lately I have been using the OpenEmbedded bitbake tool to build my Linux 
systems (Angstrom for BeagleBoard based).  Has anyone created a recipe 
set to build Xenomai under OpenEmbedded?

What I really want to do is install Xenomai into the BeagleBoard 
Angstrom kernel.

Regards,
Bob

Yes, recently someone reported using this method. However, he had issues
with -Wl,--as-needed which we did not elucidate completely.
