name = Xenomai
website = http://www.xenomai.org/Xenomai is a real-time development framework cooperating with the
Linux kernel , in order to provide a , interface-agnostic, hard real-time support to user-space applications, seamlessly integrated into theLinux environment.The Xenomai project was launched in August 2001. In 2003 it merged with the
RTAI project to produce an industrial-grade real-time Free Software platform for GNU/Linux called RTAI/fusion, on top of Xenomai's abstractRTOS core. Eventually, the RTAI/fusion effort became independent fromRTAI in 2005 as the Xenomai project.Xenomai is based on an abstract
RTOS core, usable for building any kind of real-time interfaces, over a nucleus which exports a set of genericRTOS services. Any number ofRTOS personalities called “skins” can then be built over the nucleus, providing their own specific interface to the applications, by using the services of a single generic core to implement it.Xenomai vs. RTAI
There is actually a long list of differences, though both projects share a few ideas and support the RTDM layer. The major differences derive from the goals the projects aim for, and from their respective implementation. While RTAI is focused on lowest technically feasible latencies, Xenomai also considers clean extensibility (RTOS skins), portability, and maintainability as very important goals. Xenomai's path towards
Ingo Molnar 'sPREEMPT_RT support is another major difference compared to RTAI's objectives. [ [https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2006-08/msg00115.html Article:Xenomai-help WG: Xenomai vs. RTAI] ]See also
