Ok, let us see: - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-05/msg00015.html Off-topic Question about compiling a kernel for Beagle, well for ARM really, but for beagle, answer is here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-05/msg00120.html Question about compiling Xenomai examples, answer is here: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Examples - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-05/msg00135.html Question about using Xenomai serial driver, answer is here: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/16550A - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-05/msg00166.html Another question about using Xenomai serial driver, answer at the same place. - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-06/msg00007.html Second off-topic question about PPS drivers. Unanswered this time, but you can easily find references on the web. Such as: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver22.html http://lwn.net/Articles/270773/ - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-06/msg00120.html Question about rt_dev_read errors on serial ports, answered here: http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-head/html/api/group__rtserial.html - https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2010-06/msg00148.html Thread about getting make to generate dependencies automatically, and about getting compilation flags to compile applications for xenomai native skin. Answered here: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Automatic-Prerequisites.html#Automatic-Prerequisites and here: http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/branches/v2.3.x/pdf/Native-API-Tour-rev-C.pdf So, no, you are not reading the documentation, you are using this list to avoid doing your work. > Sometimes the information is scattering in many places and can't be found > easily.

As a matter of fact, I agree with you, which is why just before your mail, I modified this page: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Included_documentation_summary So as to have many pointers in one place. But documents on Xenomai website which answered your questions were only a few clicks away from Xenomai main page: http://www.xenomai.org In the "Documentation" sidebar. One the one hand you tell us that you read the documentation, and on the other hand you would like pointers to particular parts of the documentation. Looks to me like you are contradicting yourself, if you had read the documentation, you would not need us to indicate you what particular section to read. So, please stop making excuses, start reading the documentation. -- Gilles.
