It was a RTOS project on its own, aimed at providing an abstract kernel, for eventually building any kind of real-time API over it. Xenomai is and has always primarily been about allowing traditional RTOS apps to move to Linux by providing accurate API emulation. The last version released during the Xenomai 1 era is this one: http://download.gna.org/xenomai/attic/xenomai-1.1.1.tar.gz Then came the merger with the RTAI project which hosted the work on RTAI/fusion based on the original Xenomai code, and eventually the refoundation of the Xenomai project as an independent effort, as Xenomai 2, based on the last RTAI/fusion release 0.9.1. -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
