Hi Jan
I have tried adding the two lines that you provided into the round trip
application.
Unfortunately when I run the client, it gives me unresolved symbol errors for
rt_dev_open
and rt_dev_ioctl. What other files do I need to include as headers in order to
get the
application to run?
Thanks again for your help

Again, nothing wrong here: note that your event generatot, round-trip,
is not synchronised on the TDMA cycle. Thus, whenever round-trip decides
to send a packet, this transmission as to wait on the next cycle first -
up to 10 ms. The receiver may ran into the same situation if there is
not enough time left between the packet arrival and its own transmission
slot. 100 us offset between sender and replier can be to short, taking
the software and hardware latencies into account.
When there is enough time for a reply, you should end up with worst-case
round trips of about <cycle_time> + <rel_offs_sender_receiver>. The best
case would be <rel_offs_sender_receiver>. By synchronising your
application's processing cycle on the TDMA cycle
dev = rt_dev_open("TDMA<n>", O_RDONLY);
rt_dev_ioctl(dev, RTMAC_RTIOC_WAITONCYCLE, TDMA_WAIT_ON_SYNC);
// planned: RTMAC_WAIT_ON_XMIT
you may optimise your timing - but this depends on the other tasks these
apps have to do.
