Re: [rtl] [off-topic] Via C3

2002-03-01 Thread Dan Peters

I am having the same problem with 2.4.18 on an amd k6 - 266.  I tried setting the
processor to
the k6 setting but with the same results.  Could this have anything to do with
using some older tools. I am currently using an rtlinux 3.0 CD installation with
2.2.18, and just downloaded the
new kernel and compiled.

  Hi all,
has anybody tried to boot a 2.4.x kernel with a VIA C3 processor?
I've tried 2.4.8 and 2.4.16 and machine reboots before kernel has been
  successfully loaded.
 
Motherboard is MSI-6368
 
 yup - 2.4.7, had no problems with that - but the CPU was set
 to Pentium-Classic, setting it to CyrixIII/C3 did not work
 and as far as I know the processor specific optimization
 for quite a few CPU's was broken in 2.4.X up to 2.4.9 (?).

I'm sure this is an easy question for anyone who is a network expert...

We have a local network with embedded computers.  What is desired is to send
a packet that all the embedded computers will receive.  Is there such a
broadcast command ?  Is there a good book with an example ?

Re: [rtl] Off Topic - Network Broadcast

2000-07-17 Thread Erwin Rol

Yes use the broadcast address. Depending on what protocol you use
this will be something like 255.255.255.255 for IP or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
for ethernet or something like 0.0.0.0.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff for IPX.


a good reference is UNIX network programmming by W. R. Stevens ISBN

Yes, there are broadcast tcp/ip messages.
The "standard" books are by Stevens.  Either Unix Network Programming or
Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment (2 vol).

 - if you write a handler for your ethernet card ( real-time driver ),

Don't use proto 90-00 and send random broadcasts to it, that
definitely will confuse a number of other systems.  90-00 is the
loopback protocol, which is implemented in a lot of places.

If you're going to pick a protocol number for random protocols, pick
one intended for that purpose.  A nice one is 60-00, which is a DEC
number and was assigned by DEC to "Customer use".  So you can
reasonably safely use it for uncontrolled use.  Certainly you should
be able to count on it not being used by any "real" products.

[rtl] off-topic: need automatic reboot information

2000-06-22 Thread Jyh-shing Chen

Hello,

I have an off-topic question that I think the people on
the list might be able to give me some hints or point
me to the right direction.

I have an interrupt service routine that interrupts
the operating system (currently Win 95) very often
(on the order of 2000 times per second). In addition,
there are other programs running that has file access,
fixed point and floating-point calculations, and memory
allocation and freeing that are happening when the
processor is not being interrupted.

The computer is not happy since it would reboot itself
from time to time. Could someone let me know when and
how a typical operating system (RT-Linux, Linux, and
Windows ) or BIOS decide to reboot the computer ?

Thanks for any information and thoughts,

Jyh-shing Chen

Hi 

  i have a question not really regarding rtlinux in special. we have
  to communicate with our a/d adaptor which is realtime capable on
  its own. the problem is that the task which is installed directly on
  the adaptors cpu was compiled under DOS/WINDOWS. The task running on
  the pc (now under linux) was compiled with egcs - which has a
  4-byte alignment in contrast to the 1-byte alignment from DOS
  compilers. so all our structures are different in size and we only
  transfer bullshit to and from the a/d adaptor.
  does anybody know the command line switch or pragma to change the
  default alignment of gnu cc or egcs??

Try using the following declarative construct for every involved
struct:
   __attribute__ ((packed))

Test program (prints '8' without the attribute, '5' with it):

struct s {
unsigned int i;
char c;
unsigned int j;
} __attribute__ ((packed)) a;
 
main()
{
printf("offset = %d\n", ((unsigned int) a.j) - ((unsigned int) a));
}

You need __attribute__ ((packed)) on your structures.  Look in the
info file, under "C extensions", "Variable attributes".

At the company I work for, there has been a discusion about relability
of CAN interface. I am awared of some implementations for flight
simulators, but I have no data concerning real thing. That is the origin
of my question. 

I may say that I am interested in CANbus driver and interface card to.

 
 Which OS?
 
 CANbus driver source also?
 
 Are you looking for a CANbus driver that has been approved by the FAA
 for use on commercial aircraft?
 
 What are the special requirements for your application?
 
 Are you interfacing with pre-installed equipment?


At the moment we need some general info, since we are exploring
posibilities to connect old aircraft cockpit (for instruments driving
purposes, as well as data aquisition) via CAN bus. We would like to use
Linux as OS. Another (possible) requirement is that I would like
interface with hardware to be done as a RT-linux task.
