It is, but only when you link against Xenomai's POSIX skin (xeno-config --posix-ldflags). This step will wrap all POSIX calls like socket, send, bind to RTDM services, finally invoking RTnet if it is installed (otherwise you will end up in Linux again). > real-time functions like socket_rt,... but then I can't send or receive > raw ethernet packages anymore: the function send_rt returns -1. All _rt services are deprecated now (we should mark them...). They were replaced by RTDM's rt_dev_XXX. But only the name changed here. The difference between rt_dev_XXX (or old XXX_rt) services and the true POSIX calls are the way error codes are returned. For POSIX services you have to check errno, for the RTDM API you get the error directly via the return code. Thus, one time -1 only means some error occurred, the other it means -EPERM (here: RT context required). > I attached the program code.

It doesn't map itself to RT context unless you compiled it against the POSIX skin (which does so automatically for main). > > My second problem is the reason why I only can use the loopback: I use a > Realtek rtl8139 network card.

Xenomai trunk revision (upcoming 2.3) can detect this, but current 2.2.x version still just locks up (endless IRQ handler invocations because Linux cannot handle the real source). Jan
