Xenomai-solo was proof of concept work, which eventually moved to the xenomai-forge repository where the next Xenomai 3 architecture is being developed. The development of the native API in the -solo branch is discontinued, it will resume in another form in the -forge repo at some point. There is no documentation about the -forge contents yet. The survival kit when browsing this code includes knowing that: - it aims at providing support for both dual kernel based and native-linux (typically PREEMPT_RT) platforms, using the largest possible base of common code. - most of the high level API implementation started to move to userland, with no more API-specific kernel code. These APIs get real-time services from the POSIX layer available with the underlying environment (dual kernel's POSIX skin or nptl from native linux), which specifics are hidden by an abstract service library. - "copperplate" identifies the library which abstracts the real-time services used by the high level APIs, so that their implementation is not dependent on the underlying real-time core. It is a bit like the nucleus API, but for userland client usage. - this new architecture therefore exhibits two real-time cores, selected at build time. The dual kernel core inherited from the Xenomai 2 architecture is nicknamed "cobalt" in the sources. The native linux core inherited from the -solo work is called "mercury". - the whole thing is still in flux. -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
