<h1>Introduction</h1>

The Comedi project develops open-source drivers, tools, and libraries
|
|
|
|
|
for data acquisition.

<b>Comedi</b> is a collection of drivers for a variety of common
|
|
|
|
|
data acquisition plug-in boards. The drivers are implemented as
|
|
|
|
|
a core Linux kernel module providing common functionality and
|
|
|
|
|
individual low-level driver modules.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Comedilib</b> is a user-space library that provides a
|
|
|
|
|
developer-friendly interface to Comedi devices. Included in the
|
|
|
|
|
Comedilib distribution is documentation, configuration and
|
|
|
|
|
calibration utilities, and demonstration programs.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Kcomedilib</b> is a Linux kernel module (distributed with Comedi)
|
|
|
|
|
that provides the same interface as Comedilib in kernel space,
|
|
|
|
|
suitable for real-time tasks. It is effectively a "kernel library"
|
|
|
|
|
for using Comedi from real-time tasks.

Comedi and Comedilib are being actively developed, and because of this,
|
|
|
|
|
new versions are sometimes buggy. However, reported bugs are usually
|
|
|
|
|
quickly fixed.
