I've been trying to use L4-Linux as a real-time platform for a control application. [...]
1) Is that kind of idea crazy?
Not at all!
2) Is there anyone who tried (or is going to try) something like that?
We often use setups similar to the one Frank described (external L4 task doing real-time work, L4Linux runs a timesharing load) for research purposes. I am not aware of anyone who used L4Linux clients for real-time work, but the idea is interesting. I see that L4Linux clients are easier to develop and debug. However, Frank recently finished an L4-task loader for L4Linux that regains some of Linux' convenience for L4 development.
3) Is L4-Linux going to keep up with the revisions of Linux in the future?
We certainly plan keeping L4Linux up-to-date, but I cannot make any promises. It's a matter of demand (both by ourselves and by others) and resources. Regards, Michael -- hohmuth@innocent.com, hohmuth@inf.tu-dresden.de http://home.pages.de/~hohmuth/
