Not exactly. The application-visible interfaces might be similar (rt_dev_*) or even identical (POSIX API), but at least the binding of your program to the real-time API is different (the programs need to link against the RTDM library - or what RTAI provides). Check the examples directory of RTnet, maybe there is also something and RTAI's showroom. > Or do I need to modify the program on both of the server/client side and > should use rtnet/rtai functionalities?. I hope my words are clear. Again, check the examples. Depending on your communication load, there might furthermore be the need to extend the buffer pools of the sockets on both sides (RTNET_RTIOC_EXTPOOL, see also README.pools).
