Hi, I'm using RTAI 1.6 with linux 2.2.17 (2.2.17-rthal3) and have a problem with a task wich should run periodicaly every 500ms. I create two task, the one should run periodicaly, the other will be waked up from the first. After I create them with rt_task_init, I set the oneshot_mode and call start_rt_timer(0). rt_task_resume starts the triggered task. Then I call rt_task_make _periodic for the periodic task wich starts and runs till it calls rt_task_wait_period, AND NEVER AGAIN. Using the period mode instead of the one shot mode, a call to start_rt_timer (period) returns 0 and the call rt_task_make_periodic never activates the task. Also 'cat /proc/rtai/scheduler' causes a segmentation fault in this mode. Using the one_shot mode 'cat /proc/rtai/scheduler' returns: Priority Period(ns) FPU Sig State CPUmap Task --------------------------------------------------- 0 225006 No No 0x5 1 1 1 0 Yes No 0x3 1 2 Actually I develop on a PII400. My code has still run on a P166 embedded system using the periodic_mode instead of the one_shot_mode. My embedded system was running a older version of linux/RTAI. I'm not sure but I think it was 2.2.16-rthal3. Any Ideas?
