[rtl] rtlinux-2.2 and rtlinux-2.2a
Hello,
I am upgrading our airborne system that uses RTLinux V1
to version 2. A note on the FSM web ftp site says that RTLinux 2.2 is the
latest stable version (we don't want an unstable version on the
airplane!). However, I find both rtlinux-2.2 and rtlinux-2.2a on the ftp
site. Both have the same date and the release notes mention only the a
version. Can someone tell me the difference between these two versions?
Incidentally, the airborne system is an altimeter using a new
technique known as Delay Doppler processing. We flew it in Greenland in
June and it worked perfectly. RTLinux was used on two PC's communicationg
via TCP/IP and a third computer provided Quick Look and data storage.
RTLinux V1 worked beautifully, I hope V 2.2 will do as well. This project
is described at fermi.jhuapl.edu/d2p, but alas I have not put up the web
pages relating to Linux yet on the project page.
Thanks, Bruce
