Is there any Linux distribution based on the Yocto project that lets

any experinece in adding Xenomai to the Yocto project?

I am not aware of anyone using Xenomai with Yocto to date (although that
doesn't mean nobody is). Our Real-Time focus has been on the PREEMPT_RT
Linux kernel, which we do have recipes for.

googling for meta-xenomai reveals:

[1][2]

It appears as though Xenomai has changed quite a bit over the years. If
my quick re-reading of their material is correct, the Xenomai core is
implemented as a Linux kernel module which can built in to a standard
Linux kernel?

... kind of ...

kernel space:

You need to apply a patch to a certain kernel version and configure the
kernel afterwards.

So for an ARM architecture there is a patch for the 3.8 kernel[3]

user land:

But unlike with preempt-rt you also need to build the Xenomai userland
stuff.

Out of curiosity, what sort of real-time requirements do you have?

That's a good point. Shameless self promotion [4].

Robert
