Actually, no it won't. What would work is opening a RTDM device via the 
wrapped open() call routed to the Xenomai system, which is the converse way.

/dev/rtp0 is a non-real-time user-space endpoint for the communication, 
between a regular linux application and a real-time component. It does 
not make sense to open it from kernel space.

Did you load the xeno_rtipc module then?

Yes.
