+ The recommended way to install Comedi and Comedilib is to compile from the + current CVS source, as the released versions are quite old (in particular, + comedi-0.7.76 only supports kernels up to 2.6.24). +

+ +

+ Kernel versions 2.6.30 onwards have an experimental in-tree Comedi + implementation in the driver "staging" area. This support should improve + with later kernel versions. Note that RTAI support for the in-tree "staging" + version is still in development, so for current RTAI releases the CVS + version of Comedi should be used. +
