[rtl] Using floating point arithmetics with rtlinux 2.0

2000-12-21 Thread Michael Kabot

Hi all,

I'm using rtlinux 2.0 in an industrial project since a long time,
without any problems. 

(
See the rtlinux Homepage, Real world Applications, engraving machine ecograv 
:-)

I have the following hardware equipement:

AMD 586 DX  133 MHz 
32 MB RAM
Realtek PCI Ethernet on board
ELAN  SBC-411/E board
No Graphics

And the following problem:
I extended my programm with some floating point arithmetics.
Really very simple things, just four multiplications.

Most the time it works fine. 
The runtime of my task is about 300 us.

Sometimes, the runtime increases to more than 500 us and that is too much
for my application because I must satisfy some timing conditions.

I did some debugging with an Oszilloscope connected to a port pin of
the printer port and I can see, that my floating point calculation takes
sometimes a longer time.

But the executed code is the same.
This problem occurs one or two times an hour or less :-(

1) Is it possible, that I can' t get access to the FPU unit from rt_process ?
I do a lot of floating point arithmetic in Linuxland.

2) Is it possible, that a PCI Network card can cause problems like this ?
I have a lot of traffic on the Network in Linuxland.

Thanx in advance, 
Michael Kabot

Re: [rtl] rt_com problem

2000-12-21 Thread Cort Dougan

}   Hi,
}   I want to insert the rt_com.o in the kernel,so I do as following:
} 
}   setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
}   insmod rt_com com1=0x3f8,4
} 
}   then it display that:
} 
}   rt_com.o : unresulved symbol rtl_register_rtldev
}   rt_com.o : unresulved symbol rtl_unregister_rtldev
} 
}   any advice is appreciated.
}   Thank advanced!

Be sure to insmod rtl_posixio.o first.

Re: [rtl] SBC 8260

2000-12-21 Thread Cort Dougan

} Has anybody used SBC 8260 from EST (Now Wind River). I want to try it but need to 
know if anyone has tried this board earlier.

We haven't tested/don't run on the 8260 yet.  In fact, Linux/PPC 2.4 isn't
completely there yet.

[rtl] serial card drivers

2000-12-21 Thread A.Han

Hi all,
   I am developing a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) system basing on rt-linux 2.2, 
and I am preparing to use some RS-232 serial card like moxa 104. I know there is linux 
device driver for serial card, but does it work in rt-linux?(to be honest,I know 
little about drivers) I want to do some output in rt threads,do I need a rt-driver for 
the serial card? If I do, how can I get it, and how to use it? I really hope to get 
your advise.
   Thanks for your help, and merry christmas to all.

I've been porting Linux and RTAI to the Motorola 8260 ADS board,
and both run fine.  Recent versions of Linux have run on the
SBC 8260 board, but few-days-old versions have had a little
bit of brokenness.  Once this is fixed (I have patches), both
Linux and RTAI should run on the EST SBC 8260 board, as well.

If you already have Linux running on the board, tell me the
version of the kernel that you are using, and I'll send you
a patch for RTAI.  Then, you can build RTAI out of CVS, and
we'll see what happens.

There is no real-time driver for the moxa 104 that anyone has
announced.  You have two choices a) port the moxa 104 driver
to real-time or have someone else port it, or b) use one of
the multiport boards based on standard PC UARTs (8250, 16450,
16550, etc.).  It's been a few years since I've used multi-port
serial boards, so I can't recommend one off-hand.
