I've built new Xenomai kernel packages for the Machinekit project. As
the subject says, they're based on Xenomai 2.6.3 and Linux 3.8.13 and
run on the x86 architectures (mostly vanilla with the Debian config) and
Beaglebone (Robert C Nelson's patches and config).
They are based on the upstream Debian packaging, completely different
from my previous packages, which were based on the awful make-kpkg
stuff. These promise to be much more maintainable.
RTAI kernels are also included in the new packaging.
To install:
# configure the Debian archive
sudo sh -c \
"sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net \
--recv-key 73571BB9; \
echo 'deb http://deb.dovetail-automata.com wheezy main' > \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list"
# update the apt database
sudo apt-get update
# install the Xenomai kernel and headers; pick the command
# applicable to your situation
#
# amd64 architecture:
apt-get install \
linux-image-xenomai.x86-amd64 \
linux-headers-xenomai.x86-amd64
# i386 architecture:
apt-get install \
linux-image-xenomai.x86-i686-pae \
linux-headers-xenomai.x86-i686-pae
# Beaglebone:
apt-get install \
linux-image-xenomai.beaglebone-omap \
linux-headers-xenomai.beaglebone-omap
If you have an r8168 NIC in your PC, see
/etc/modprobe.d/r816x_blacklist.conf to enable that driver and disable
the r8169.
The packaging lives on GitHub:
https://github.com/zultron/kernel-rt-deb
These kernels have been running well in the Machinekit Buildbot for some
time now, and have seen a little testing in the Machinekit community.
The archive signatures and a few other details are new, so please be
patient and report any hiccups. Feedback is greatly appreciated,
positive or negative!
John
