Hello Len,

You should run as root to get propper realtime priorities.
You can reduce the memory usage at runtime, please have a look at executable -u and look for stacksize

Generally I have to say that EtherCOS is still in alpha state. I am working on a new release working on XCos and Scicos but there is much work to do. The problem is that I work on this project in my free time (conflicts with family and busy job). So there is a lack of time. If you want to do further work on it feel free to do this and yes there is a repository. If you like I can grant you access rights

Hi all,

Just to inform anyone working with ethercos (are there any?)

If you are trying to run an ethercos generated code application without root privileges, you may run into a segmentation fault, caused by a memory allocation problem. Running as root avoids this problem.

If you want to be able to run as user joe anyway, run "ulimit --l" and/or check /etc/security/limits.conf.

The ethercos runtime locks a lot of memory, and some distributions (like Debian Lenny) limit this for normal users.

If you change /etc/security/limits.conf such that memlock is something like 32768 (a number that works for me) this problem is over.

Cheers,

Len.
