I have been reading a little about RTAI and Xenomai. I wonder Why EMC choose RTAI, Other then at the time Xenomai may not have been available (around 2005?). It seems that Xen is developed more or maybe more openly - I can find more info on it by far. Comparisons are rare but it seems that RTAI has possibly 10% less latency and Xen is more flexible in regards to platforms,architecture and debugging capability. If EMC and or HAL is to be used with anything else besides X86 could the realtime patch change? Is there any real intention to be able to use EMC/HAL with anything besides X86? Is the reason for RTAI over any other - lowest latency number, Why change what works, No interest, or a technical reason? I take it that EMC does not actively use RT-linux anymore because RTAI was better? Just curious really
