Isn't that just an embedded Linux distro with some kernel patches? What is TimeSys Linux? If they aren't hard realtime then chances are their driver interface is pretty much unchanged, so comedi may work on them with little or no modification. Even if they _are_ hard realtime there might not be much that needs to be done to get comedi to behave properly in hard realtime... > > 2. Has anyone worked on a JNI package? > Yes. I have.

However David Schleef is a better person to ask about all this.. In general a JNI glue layer would be great for comedi. If anything it would be one of those things that certain people in the IT world look at and say "wow, this comedi thing is really coming of age now". If I had more ambition and free time I would even love to work on such a project... -Calin
