Thank you for your answer. I'm starting to read. I just to to understand one more thing first because it not clear to me from the wikifaq/howtos. I've fount an overview of real time linux solutions here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-real-time-linux/ Xenomai is said to be a thin kernel approach. Is this right? If so, would you explain to me what is a skin on this picture? My guess is it's the way "real time tasks" part looks like/acts like. Am I right?
However there is another diagram shown in the Chameleon RTOS pdf - this does not include the user space. What is the user space? Is it or can it be a "regular linux", like emdebian for example? Can xenomai have multiple skins at the same time? Please help me understand. regards, -- Łukasz Dragilla Sacha On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 01:13, Gilles Chanteperdrix <gilles.chanteperd...@xenomai.org> wrote: > On 10/29/2011 10:38 PM, Łukasz Sacha wrote: >> Hello! >> >> I'm just starting to play with xenomai.
