[rtl] RTnet for RTLinux-3.1.

[Saikrishnan Krishnamurthy]

Hi,

   Iam using a linux 2.4 system with RTLinux-3.1 on top of it. I need a
real time networking support for the system. I sought for RTnet, but the
latest version of RTNet (rtnet-0.9.1) that I could get, supports
Linux-2.2.14 and RTLinux-2.3 only.

   Since I need ATM NIC support for my system and ATM in linux is
supported only from linux-2.4 onwards, I don't know how I could accomplish
RTNet on a linux-2.4.4 with RTLinux-3.1.

   Also if anyone had any luck in getting the "ATM NIC FORE PCA 200e" to
work directly with RTLinux, please guide me. Iam desperately looking for
some real-time drivers or some means of accessing atm from RTLinux
directly. (with or without using rtnet.)

   If anyone could give me a pointer of a recent version of rtnet or
any other direction possible, that would be much helpful.


thanks,

sai.

[rtl] Network Driver for RT-Linux

[Saikrishnan Krishnamurthy]

Hi,

   I have an ATM PCI Card on my PC. I have written a program in linux
kernel to read and write AAL2 voice packets using this ATM PCI card. Iam
using the currently available ATM sockets to do this.

   As my program requires a timing resolution of as low as 10ms (10msec
being the worst case allowable delay) in all my measurements, I wonder if
coding the same program in RT-Linux could help ??.

   I would like to get the following doubts clarified.

   1) How different is a RT driver from the ordinary linux driver ??.
   2) Can I use the same driver for both and just map the PCI address to
my RT-Linux kernel address space to get direct access to the PCI card ??.
   3) If the Rt-Linux requires some modifications to the driver that use
in linux, what are the major changes Iam required to make ??.

My current problem is just to get the ATM PCI card start working in
the RT-Linux domain so that I could read and write through this card. Any
help on how I can go about doing this would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Sai.
