[Xenomai-help] Xilinx and Xenomai

Hi Phillipe

I have another Question about something, I asked a while ago.

I realizes that there is a support for Xilinx Boards such as the ml300 at the mainline tree. I compiled the mainline tree successfully for my XUPV2P and tried to use the xenomai-patch then. I used the newest (I believe 2.6.26) Kernel and the newest xenomai (2.4.5) version, so I tried the adeos-ipipe-2.6.26-powerpc-DENX-2.2-04.patch patch. Unluckily that failed. What would I have to do to get the patch working for my mainline tree? Will it work for my XUPV2P (Virtex 2 Pro) Board then?


Greetings & Thx
Joachim

Why don't you just use the sources from our repo? It's just  mainline
plus  local  additions. As long as you don't use any of the boards we
added you should get the same as  in  mainline  -  but  matching  the
Xenomai patches.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
