It was negligible, but I don't know for certain if that's because it was in kernel space. It seems to be the case, though. > Keep another advantage in mind: going to user space allows you (or your > contractor) to distribute closed-source applications without consulting > costly lawyers - if that can help at all... :) The source code is distributed with each unit. On bad sectors of a flash card. But hey, it's there. I'm going out of town but will return next week. I'll be thinking about the design and share some ideas with you all. I will also go kernel fault hunting for Philippe now that I know what he wants. I appreciate everyone's help and feel bad that at this juncture I have to disappear for a while. I can tell that you're all anxious to help figure out what's going on so we (you) can make Xenomai a wonderful project that leads to peace on earth and clean energy. ;) Steven _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
