At http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/releases/ you will find the latest release (1.0) of the Xenomai framework. Xenomai aims at providing a toolbox that helps implementing real-time interfaces and debugging real-time software on GNU/Linux. It also facilitates the migration of applications based on traditional RTOS to Linux/RTAI (http://www.rtai.org/) by providing API emulators running on top of RTAI's HAL.
This is a major release including: - A reworked nanokernel now exhibiting a threaded interrupt model. Kernel mutexes have been introduced in order to reduce the interrupt masking time due to critical section enforcement, especially inside the real-time interfaces based on the nanokernel. - The VxWorks, pSOS+ and VRTXsa API emulators. - The initial implementation of an uITRON-compliant API. - A virtual machine that allows debugging the real-time applications in user-space using a RTOS-aware debugger. - And of course a number of bug fixes in all parts of the framework. A new disjunctive dual licensing scheme (GPL/Clarified Artistic License) now applies to core parts of the Xenomai framework such as the nanokernel and the real-time interfaces, so that embedded application developers using the Xenomai APIs are free to distribute their work under the license they see fit. Details are available at http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/MANIFEST. The main README file describing Xenomai features is available online at http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/README. Please refer to the READMEs in the distribution for more in depth explanations.
