After patching the kernel 2.6.38.8 with xenomai 2.6.0 there is no kernel configuration option for rtai-emulator and I am unable to build my kernel modules, because the rtai headers are missing in xenomai. > > In which version the rtai skin was removed from xenomai and why? This skin was removed in 2.6.0, because only the kernel-side API was emulated, we had no incentive for maintaining that code due to the lack of users sending feedback, and nobody went for contributing LXRT emulation after all these years. People seem to prefer porting to the native Xenomai API instead. So I have decided to remove it entirely, to stop bit roting. > > Do I have to port the rtai-code to xenomai-native-api if I want to use xenomai 2.6.0? > Yes. > regards > Michael > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Xenomai mailing list > Xenomai@xenomai.org > http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai > -- Philippe.
