You could have used the latest Xenomai release directly over your custom 2.6.26 kernel, even with a legacy pipeline patch for 2.6.26 in. We do try hard to maintain backward compat, see: http://xenomai.org/index.php/FAQs#Which_I-pipe_patch_should_I_use_with_Xenomai_version_X_on_platform_Y.3F We should probably stress this fact in a more visible way, so that nobody assumes that a given Xenomai release can only run on the pipeline patches it ships. In fact, most patches released in the past five years or so would do, with a varying degree of stability, though. Getting the most recent one is certainly the safest bet. > > To fix other trouble, I had already applied similar patch to which you > presented . > So that, both patches were applied to my kernel, and I could solve trouble. > > Here is the URL of "arm: fix mm switching". > http://git.xenomai.org/?p=xenomai-2.5.git;a=commitdiff;h=443c2c93ca822088fcf9de65cff128858affa0b8 > > > _______________________________________________ > Xenomai-help mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
