Hi,

No worries, I've already extracted out the RTDM code and config from the devel 
branch and made a patch to import it into the stable branch.  (Would you like 
the patch file?)

I've been having a look at the RTDM code.  There's a couple of issues that I'll 
be looking at fixing / changing.  Let me know if you're interested in any of 
them.

1) There's a few minor spelling issues:
  EC_RTDM_DOMAIN_QUEQUE                 EC_RTDM_DOMAIN_QUEUE
  EC_RTDM_MASTER_SYNC_MONITOR_QUEQUE    EC_RTDM_MASTER_SYNC_MONITOR_QUEUE
  ecrt_rtdm_domain_queque               ecrt_rtdm_domain_queue
  ecrt_rtdm_master_sync_monitor_queque  ecrt_rtdm_master_sync_monitor_queue

2) Please correct me if I'm wrong: the RTDM interface only allows for one 
domain per master.  There are by default up to 5 RTDM devices available but I 
would expect the intention for these are to allow different masters rather than 
multiple domains for one master.

I was planning on changing the struct CstructMstrAttach to take more than one 
domain (with dynamic size) and the domain related functions to take an index as 
to which domain you want to call the function for.

3) There's possibly some sdo related methods that I will add to the RTDM 
interface, but I haven't quite decided yet.


Regards,
Graeme.

(PS I'm using RTAI, so I didn't extract the Xenomai stuff for my RTDM patch.  
If you would like my patch I can add that in pretty quickly.)

Hello,

We know this,

If you want to build up a productive system you should use the stable 
branch. There are some new features in the devel branch which are not 
stable until now.

I will talk to Florian about porting the RTDM interface into the stable 
branch.

Do you want to use it under RTAI or Xenomai?

Best regards

Andreas
