This is a minimal example application for the use of the EtherCAT

     8

master realtime RTDM interface with an XENOMAI POSIX thread.

     9

    10

The application expects an XENOMAI installation. Configure the master sources

    11

specifying --enable-rtdm --with-xenomai-dir to have the right include paths.

    12

    13

Most probably you'll have different EtherCAT slaves present. Try adjusting the

    14

section "process data" in main.c to your bus configuration.

    15

    16

There are some features that can be disabled by commenting out the respective

    17

defines at the head of main.c.

To build the example, call:

    22

    23

make 

    24

    25

To run it, preload the EtherCAT RTDM module:

    26

    27

modprobe ec_rtdm

    28

    29

and call as root:

    30

    31

./ec_xenomai_posix_example

    32

    33

...and watch the system logs for the outputs.
