I am currently using a modified version of EMC with RTnet on Xenomai-3 and it works just fine. The latest patch to rtnet was on 2018-02-28, this was about hardware timestamping in the ethernet mac for IEEE-1588 support.

There was some work done for kernel 3.2 support but it wasn't usable. It's all EOL at this point and completely useless, don't even think about RTnet anymore. Just use preempt-rt with POSIX threads over the network. You will have the low-latency ethernet by using the hm2_eth driver: There was work being done on RT-Net for Xenomai, but unfortunately one of the main developers Gilles Chanteperdrix died in 2016 and I think it is abandoned at this point. > > > https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/hm2_eth.c > > For info on how to configure and use hm2_eth please use: > > > $ man 9 hm2_eth > > Alec > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers > Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics (\__/) (='.'=) This is Bunny.
