Michael,

Thanks for all of the good information. I have not yet found anyone further
ahead than me. There is one person on the Olinuxino forum who is just
getting started, but his hardware has not even arrived.

Regards,
Eric


Assuming you dont find anybody having done the Xenomai footwork for your
platform:

the first set operation is:

- the current base kernel version options for Xenomai kernel patches for ARM
are here:
http://git.xenomai.org/?p=xenomai-2.6.git;a=tree;f=ksrc/arch/arm/patches;h=c
d2972e19edb7432cef243cbc028ec3ef1201380;hb=d4f8b82905930ceba4d4399d1b2e52ff9
8860e2a

  not sure about the adeos- file in there, assume not, so we have 3.2.21,
3.4.6, 3.5.7

- find a suitable base (non-Xenomai) version for your board close to one of
the above

Assume you have a reasonable match, and the base kernel patching succeeds
with the corresponding ipipe patch - step2:

Xenomai hardware support (includes timer; note I am just Joe User on this -
I have no applicable experience of doing, or modifying the following):

find the Xenomai-specific code from other ARM boards, and take inspiration
from there; it'd be worth searching the Xenomai mailing list archives. Also,
subscribe to the mailing list, things are moving very fast.

candidates (probably there are others, but I didnt look for any): 

- the Raspberry Xenomai support code
(http://www.blaess.fr/christophe/2012/08/27/xenomai-sur-raspberry-pi/)
- the Henri Roosen beagleboard code )https://github.com/roosen/linux)
- Stephan Kappertz' work: recorded here:
http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb?p=linuxcnc-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/
beaglebone-3.2.21-2.6.2-kappertz
- Sheng-Chao Wong's work:
https://github.com/shengchao/beaglebone-angstrom-xenomai

we currently are using the Henri Roosen patch; the Kappertz patch seems to
work too.

good luck,

- Michael
