Hi Wolfgang,
Can this be confirmed or is rt_dev_recvfrom() behaving incorrectly in
my case?
rt_dev_recvfrom() reads message frames (one at a time) from an internal
socket buffer (there is actually a kernel configuration option to
configure the size). If no messages are available, it will block by
default, but it can also be used in non-blocking mode by using the flag
MSG_DONTWAIT. It seems, that your application is trying to read messages
periodically in polling mode. Either you do reading and buffering in
your own thread as you suggested above or you use rt_dev_recvfrom() in
non-blocking mode.
Thanks for this. I have not tried it yet but I was looking for that flag
in the hope that something like this would exist. I thought I had seen
something like it but when I tried to locate it yesterday I failed.
Don;t worry it is there, I just checked. Sorry.
Where can I find the buffer size option in the kernel config menu? What
is the default size?
Thanks again.
Roland
Wolfgang.
