No problem. Just a remark: I believe this mailing list doesn't like top-posting...
Oops, thanks for reminding me, I did read that initially. Thanks once again for your patient and extremely helpful replies to my questions.
W/r to the other questions: I'm still unclear about your network topology.
My network topology comprises :- - Linux + Xenomai/RTnet + 2 NICS - rteth0 10.0.0.2 & eth1 192.168.1.71 - Stock Linux - eno1 10.0.0.5 The 10.0.0.X interfaces are connected via layer 2 switch, these are the only devices on the switch.
Another way to debug things is to load rtcap.ko before bringing up rteth0. Then you bring up rteth0 with rtifconfig, followed by bringing up rteth0 with ifconfig (on the Linux side).
Thank you, this was very useful. From terminal window on Xenomai system, rtping 10.0.0.2, the rteth0 interface, the packets are captured by wireshark, however, there is no reply. I can successfully ping Xenomai RTnet system from stock Linux system (10.0.0.5) and, once rtroute is established, rtping from Xenomai to stock Linux system (10.0.0.5). Your link to UDP client/server and socat script were also very useful, knowing it had worked for you, I gave them a try ..... and they worked between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.5, but not when using 10.0.0.2 for both client and server. Again, wireshark captures the packet, but the UDP server doesn't receive it. The only reason I wanted to rtping 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.2 was as a sanity check prior to moving on to testing with a remote system, the same for running the client and server both on 10.0.0.2, I figured this would give me confidence prior to moving to running between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.5 # ./rtroute Host Routing Table Hash Destination HW Address Device 02 10.0.0.2 5C:F9:DD:74:9C:27 rteth0 05 10.0.0.5 D4:BE:D9:1F:88:C2 rteth0 3F 10.0.0.255 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF rteth0 # ./rtifconfig rteth0 Medium: Ethernet Hardware address: 5C:F9:DD:74:9C:27 IP address: 10.0.0.2 Broadcast address: 10.0.0.255 UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MTU: 1500 rtlo Medium: Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 1500 _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list Xenomai@xenomai.org https://xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
