From 1087f341e4ee8d5db4f1236be74e955251b8fafb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Schleef Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 23:29:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] new install files for RTAI and RTLinux --- INSTALL.RTAI | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INSTALL.RTLinux | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 55 insertions(+) create mode 100644 INSTALL.RTAI create mode 100644 INSTALL.RTLinux diff --git a/INSTALL.RTAI b/INSTALL.RTAI new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bc10a5a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/INSTALL.RTAI @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ + +In order to use comedi with RTAI, you need to use the +RTHAL patch that I distribute, instead of Paolo's 'copyto' +scripts. The reason for this is simple -- without it, +Comedi has no way to determine whether or not a kernel +is an RTAI-capable kernel or not. This patch is +available at ftp://stm.lbl.gov/pub/realtime/patch-2.2.14rthal1. + +You need to use RTAI version 1.1. Newer versions may +also be ok. If not, fix it and send me a patch. + +Assuming Comedi correctly identifies your kernel as an +RTAI kernel, you will be given the option "Real-time +support" during configuration. + +The top-level Makefile has a few configrable options for +RTAI: + +LINUXDIR allows you to choose the kernel to use +for building, this obviously has to be the kernel you will +be running while using Comedi.
