[Xenomai] i.MX6 setup

[Xenomai] i.MX6 setup

[Nicolas Pinault]

Hi,

I'm starting a new project where I have to use Linux on a i.MX6. The new 
system has real time constraints. I have chosen xenomai for the real 
time part of the software.
I have followed Freescale documents to setup a Ubuntu virtual machine to 
run ltib and cross-compile the Linux distribution delivered by 
Freescale. I now have a i.MX6 board (Sabre Smart Devices Board) booting 
U-Boot and running standard Freescale Linux.
What's next ?
I have read xenomai documentation but some points are not clear.
It is said that patches have to be applied on a vanilla kernel. I guess 
the Freescale Linux distribution does not have a vanilla kernel. So how 
can I apply patches on it ?

Does anyone have a detailed "howto" to setup a xenomai patched Linux for 
a i.MX6 board ?

Regards,
Nicolas

PS : I guess that topic has already been discussed here but I have not 
found any archive for the current mailing list.

Hi Nicolas,

Do you use the L3.0.35_4.0.0 LTIB BSP for i.MX6 ?

I am trying to do the same work, by deploying Xenomai on my i.MX6Q Sabre Lite board.

Once you have your U-Boot and Kernel from LTIB you have to :

- Download xenomai and take a look at : ksrc/arch/arm/patches/mxc/README

- Resume to the classic installation on : http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.6/html/README.INSTALL/#arm

It has been a month that I am trying to deploy but I have not secceed yet !

Regards,
Younes

Thanks for your answer. I'll follow the links you provided me.
I'll let you know if I succeed or not.
