[Xenomai-help] USB and C++?

[Gengis Kanhg Toledo Ramírez]

Hello to every one:

First, I would like to congratulate this effort called Xenomai as well as its 
community.

My questions to you are these

1. Is it possible to use XENOMAI with the USB port? in hard or soft mode?
2. What about porting a C++ application to XENOMAI? I know there is a guide 
related to RTAI, but it is from 2004 

(http://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~psoetens/portingtolxrt.html)
3. Which one is the recommended distro for this?

Thanks you very much in advance for your reply.

Regards.

We do not talk about hard and soft mode with Xenomai.

If what you want to do is have a Xenomai appliation, and being able to
use an USB device, then yes, it should work.

If what you want to do is access an USB device from a Xenomai thread
running in primary domain, then it will work if you write a driver for
this device using RTDM. There is an USB4RT USB stack, but I do not know
in which state it currently is.

This should not need anything special.

You do not have much choice here: the only distributions for which we
provide the necessary stuff are the .deb based one. That would be Debian
or Ubuntu, maybe others, I do not know.

There is a lot of them actually:
