Xenomai looks interesting, do you have specific hardware that is already

running it? Which skin are you looking at? I would guess the native one, but

I've not looked at the others very closely.

We have not yet any hardware running Xenomai but we will have until the

end of this year: A VME board based on a P2020 PPC.

The skin concept looks interesting and while one may get best access to

all features through the native skin, it may be easier to start with the

vxWorks skin because of the already existing vxWorks support in EPICS.

That may even allow to port many still vxWorks dependent drivers

directly to Linux.
