Sorry for my misunderstanding. I simply thought that, since Comedi works with RTAI and Xenomai offers similar interfaces, a Comedi port to Xenomai was quite straight forward. It must not be so. > If you do want to help, you may want investing your time in developing > and testing a better code base like Analogy with other people, instead > of re-opening a dead development effort all alone. Unfortunately I do not have so much time to invest into this activity. I'll simply check if the PREEMP_RT patch gives me low enough latencies, otherwise I'll switch to use Comedi on top of RTAI (sadly, because I prefer Xenomai and its posix api). Thanks.
