+
+This is a minimal example module for the use of the EtherCAT master realtime
+interface with an RTAI thread.
+
+The module expects an RTAI installation. Configure the master sources
+specifying --with-rtai-dir to have the right include paths.
+
+Most probably you'll have different EtherCAT slaves present. Try adjusting the
+section "process data" in rtai_sample.c to your bus configuration.
+
+There are some features that can be disabled by commenting out the respective
+defines at the head of rtai_sample.c.
+
+---
+
+To build the example module, call:
+
+make modules
+
+To run it, load the appropriate RTAI modules and call:
+
+insmod ec_rtai_sample.ko
+
+...and watch the system logs for the outputs.
