I've been trying to install xenomai on debian and I'm confused about all the version numbers. I'm on Debian 6 (Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue May 13 16:33:32 UTC 2014 i686 GNU/Linux)

Steps I followed,

  1. installed the linux-patch-xenomai from apt via aptitude install linux-patch-xenomai
  2. then according to /usr/share/doc/linux-patch-xenomai/README.Debian I need the kernel source. I got the kernel source via aptitude install linux-source-2.6
  3. expand the source tree tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 in /usr/src/

  4. then apply the patch as explained in the above README.Debian by /usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/apply/xenomai which fails

    1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c.rej
1 out of 6 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/x86/mm/fault.c.rej
1 out of 15 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file kernel/sched.c.rej
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file kernel/signal.c.rej

Why is this failing even though the above README.Debian states This is intended for vanilla and Debian kernel sources? I know debian 6 is eol but any help is appreciated.

How to apply the xenomai kernel patch on debian?

You can get the required steps to apply the xenomai patch on the 2.6* kernel version from the README.INSTALL :

cd /usr/src/
wget http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.5.6.tar.bz2
tar xvf xenomai-2.5.6.tar.bz2
cat /xenomai-2.5.6/README.INSTALL

From the _ 1.1 Preparing the target kernel _ the syntax is:

scripts/prepare-kernel.sh --linux=<linux-srctree> [--adeos=<adeos-patch>] [--arch=<target-arch>]

The adeos-patch can be downloaded from here

The kernel source can be found here

There is an example:

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.5.6.tar.bz2
tar xvf xenomai-2.5.6.tar.bz2

wget http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/v2.6/x86/adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8-x86-2.11-03.patch

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.32.tar.gz
tar xvf linux-2.6.32.tar.gz

cd /xenomai-2.5.6/scripts

./prepare-kernel.sh --linux=../../linux-2.6.32/ --adeos=../../adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8-x86-2.11-03.patch --arch=`uname -m`

Edit

The Kernel and the adeos patch should have the same version numbers , the old versions of adeos can be found here

    It did work but only with same version numbers. I was able to patch [linux-2.6.38.8](https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.38.8.tar.bz2) kernel source with [adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8-x86-2.11-03](https://xenomai.org/downloads/ipipe/attic/v2.6/x86/adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8-x86-2.11-03.patch) patch using `prepare-kernel.sh` in [xenomai-3.0.3.tar.bz2](https://xenomai.org/downloads/xenomai/stable/latest/xenomai-3.0.3.tar.bz2) – Kuravi H Feb 15 '17 at 15:45

    First of all it does not work with the debian provided linux-source-2.6 i.e. `aptitude install linux-source-2.6`. It also did not work for `linux-2.6.32` < `adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8` but it did work for `linux-2.6.38.8` < `adeos-ipipe-2.6.38.8`. I also couldn't find a `xenomai-2.11` so I went with `xenomai-3.0.3` and it seems to work. The kernel is compiling now. will update if it boots. – Kuravi H Feb 15 '17 at 16:00
