Hi, I'm coming from the RTAI and RTLinux world and I just learned about the great strides you guys have made in hard RT. Anyway, I was wondering -- currently how would one go about talking to DAQ hardware using the RT_PREEMPT patch(es)? Will this "just work" with COMEDI? What happens when a userspace hard rt app calls into a kernel device driver in the simple case of an inb() or outb() instruction? I am hoping I can use this patch to do some basic input/output from a data acquisition card that is driver by COMEDI -- using just synchronous acquisition and output (basically writing to registers on the card, etc.. no IRQ's). Will this work? Thanks.. PS: I also posted on the comedi mailing list but wanted to ask you guys too. Thanks again, -Calin ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
