Hello,
I am developing a control application with Etherlab's EtherCAT master
on top of RTAI. I have two questions regarding such setup:
1 The flag "--with-rtai-dir" has to be used when installing the
EtherCat master or is it only for the examples?
You are right.
2 The EtherCat master process will not be pre-empted by the RTAI
processes and tasks (considering ethercat master runs as pure Linux
process)? If not, which is the priority of the Ethercat process under
RTAI or under Linux?
The master has only a functional API. So it runs in the RTAI context of
your control process. There are some additional kthreads, but they
doesn't act on the realtime process.
Best regards
Andreas
