Dear Oguz,
I am running the standard, stable Etherlab Master 1.5.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.01 with Kernel 3.13 (14.04.02 and newer have Kernels 4.x - I haven't tested them) , and I can recommend it. The installation according to IgH manual should work with no problem. I cannot advise you on any real-time interface, as our project employs CUDA, and we were unable to force Nvidia drivers to comply with any RT kernel patch. If you had any specific questions, I will be happy to answer them. Yours sincerely, Jakub Sikorski Doctoral Candidate Surgical Robotics Laboratory University of Twente 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands http://surgicalroboticslab.nl ________________________________ From: etherlab-users <[email protected]> on behalf of Bilko AS, Oguz Dilmac <[email protected]> Sent: 04 June 2018 17:04:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [etherlab-users] verified linux distro + kernel + RTAI + etherlab version Hi all, We are currently running on ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32 and RTAI 3.8.1. We are using etherlab master 1.5.2 from the tar ball on the web site (http://www.etherlab.org/en/ethercat/). We use R8169 driver. We use CANopen over EtherCAT protocol. We want to upgrade our kernel version so that we can use newer device drivers (graphics, USB etc) I noticed, in ethercat master 1.5.2 tarball, the latest supported kernel version for ethernet drivers are 3.4. But in the development branch newer kernels are also supported. I'm having some porting problems with different distros and RTAI versions. Most likely they are due to my mistakes. But I want to be sure that I'm going to the right direction. So, * Can you suggest a verifed newer linux distro, kernel, RTAI version? Which versions / distros are you using? Can I use RTAI 5.1? * Also is it safe to use the development version with (or without) Gavin's patches (https://sourceforge.net/u/uecasm/etherlab-patches/ci/default/tree/#readme)? Should I be aware of some potential problems?
