However, it is easy for vanilla kernels where the board-independent infrastructure already exists, which means 2.6.1[4-5] or 2.6.2[0,4-6] I have already heard about these davinci boards, and they seem to have a lot of drivers. It is not easy, but I would advise you to migrate to the latest kernel (2.6.26), port the drivers to this new kernel (this is the non-easy part, because kernel APIs have a tendency to evolve rapidly over time), then port Xenomai for your board.

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer. I think, I will follow your advice and first move to a vanilla Kernel and see how i can easily port the drivers if needed.

Hi,

usually, adding an ARM board to the I-pipe patch is just a few days
work, and is documented in Xenomai wiki.

However, it is easy for vanilla kernels where the board-independent
infrastructure already exists, which means 2.6.1[4-5] or 2.6.2[0,4-6]

I have already heard about these davinci boards, and they seem to have a
lot of drivers. It is not easy, but I would advise you to migrate to the
latest kernel (2.6.26), port the drivers to this new kernel (this is the
non-easy part, because kernel APIs have a tendency to evolve rapidly
over time), then port Xenomai for your board.

Regards.
