Finally, after a longer period of release candidate testing and
improving, the new RTnet version 0.8.2 has just been published. As
usual, visit
http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtnet/download.html
for downloading.
This release both aims at fixing some more or less minor bugs which
showed up over the last month and at adding some useful new features.
One of those is the user space support for RTAI/fusion. Check the new
examples under addons/examples/fusion for the usage - but it's much like
under LXRT. Moreover, Wolfgang updated the MPC drivers which should now
open the PowerPC architecture again for RTnet. We also enabled the ARM
build against RTAI 3.2, but we are yet lacking official drivers for
specific ARM controllers (only loopback works). Feel free to contribute!
Here is the full list of changes:
* updated fusion support to releases 0.7.2..0.7.4
* updated RTAI-3.x support (up to release 3.2)
* user space API for fusion
* added RTcfg device shutdown command (detach)
* updated MPC drivers
* experimental build for ARM platform (no drivers yet)
* improved RT-NIC assignment via "cards" module parameter
* bug fixes
o UDP socket cleanup
o simple TDMA mode of rtnet script
o compilation on kernels 2.6.10 and 2.6.11
o DESTDIR detection during configure
Stay tuned, there are already further updates pending for the next
release. A lot of new activity is about to start within and around the
RTnet project. Just to name two efforts: MPC 52xx FEC and Gigabit
Ethernet drivers.
