A first version of RTDM over -rt will be available soon (in one or two weeks). But for RTnet further modifications are necessary, especially to the build system. > I am a starter in Linux so I want to know & explore more on RTDM. > Suppose if you assign me the same task of porting RTDM over linux kernel > services with rt-preempt patch, How I have to proceed? Any tutorial or > manual can you please suggest me. You do not need to care on how RTDM is implemented. If you use the POSIX API, RTnet is used like the normal network stack using the BSD socket interface. Be aware that RTnet is for real-time and has other concepts (e.g. TDMA) and some limitations (e.g. no TCP). > Sorry for the stupid question. You are welcome.
