Building Hard Real-Time Linux Systems with Xenomai – Jan Kiszka, Siemens

It’s 2023, and the whole real-time Linux world is served by the RT preempt kernel. The whole? Not quite. In this talk, we will explain why Xenomai’s co-kernel architecture still plays a role in building mission-critical deterministic systems with Linux. We will also provide a few examples where Xenomai is in use today, some of them you may have got in touch with without knowing it. We will describe the available kernel and hardware support, how it is maintained, and how this can be expanded when needed. We will explain the differences between the mainstream Xenomai 3 series and the new Xenomai 4 approach and reasons to choose latter or to migrate to it. Finally, we will describe how to create your own Xenomai-based system, from scratch or re-using the pre-integrations of the project.
