Dear all,

My name is Claudio Scordino from Evidence 
(http://www.evidence.eu.com). In collaboration with the Scilab Group 
Digiteo (previously INRIA Roquencourt), and SUPSI Lugano, we developed 
a software integration between the following software packages:

- the Xenomai environment with the POSIX skin
- the Scilab/Scicos code generator
- a modified version of CANFestival

The result is now that we can use the Scilab/Scicos code generator to 
automatically generate application code for Xenomai!

We believe that this opens new possibilities for the usage of Xenomai 
in industrial applications, especially when these tools are used to 
implement control algorithms, fast prototyping systems and hardware in 
the loop simulations... all made using free open source tools!

We also developed a set of custom Scicos blocks that integrates with 
CANFestival for sending CANopen commands to control remote I/Os 
peripherals. These blocks can be inserted inside Scicos designs, and 
the generated code will control directly the remote peripheral.

In addition, we implemented a set of blocks which make available a UDP 
connection to exchange data between the Xenomai target and a Scilab 
simulation running on the PC. This allows, for example, remote display 
of data, as well as communication and data exhange for hardware in the 
loop, monitoring and remote control.

If interested, the following links contain some description of the 
project, as well as source code to download, and a wiki page with 
installing instructions.

Scilab/Scicos for Industrial COTS PC and remote CANopen I/O

generator for FLEX and Xenomai

We added these links to our Wiki too in the "Embedded Linux" section.

Best regards,

             Claudio Scordino
