Since then, it has been in use in lab configuration at iXblue, so far so good. This series is a port to Xenomai 3.1 of a work Gilles did on top of 2.6.5 back in 2015. This original work is production software since then. [1] https://xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2019-March/040588.html --=20 Philippe.
