Start small with a local loopback test: Once you have RTnet installed, adapt <inst-dir>/etc/rtnet.conf, and (that's new to trunk and undocumented) run "<inst-dir>/sbin/rtnet loopback". That will allow you to call boring "rtping rtlo", but is already a first basic test. Then enhance your configuration of rtnet.conf towards a small 2 or 3 node network, managed via RTmac/TDMA. See README and the wiki (http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/RTnet:Main) on details. Finally, there are RTnet examples for Xenomai included, specifically the POSIX round trip test. It's a nice thing to run over multiple nodes, also in parallel to non-RT traffic over the vnic tunnels. > >> Ah, and don't forget to report your findings! > > /me is good at breaking "stuff" and reporting the results ;) > Yeah...
