Hi everybody,

I try to learn Xenomai. I have a problem that I do not understand. I want that my real time task to communicate with my user space task through a pipe (FIFO) in order to save sample datas in a file. My problem is the following. I create a pipe with:

err = rt_pipe_create(&pipe1,"MyPipe1",1,FIFO_SIZE_PARAM*sizeof(double));
    if(err)
    {
        printf("pipe MyPipe1 creation failure : %d\n",err);
    }

then in the real time task i write to the pipe like this:

err = rt_pipe_stream(&pipe1,&tension0,sizeof(double)); // i already try rt_pipe_write but i got the same result
        if ( err < 0 ) 
        {
        printf("rt_pipe_write erreur %d \n",err);
        }


On the user side, i am doing the following :

    double tabTest[FIFO_SIZE_PARAM];
    int nb_read;
    nb_read=read(pipe1user,tabTest,FIFO_SIZE_PARAM*sizeof(double));
    printf("I got  %d bytes\n",nb_read);


I get a value of 8 for nb_read which corresponds to sizeof(double). But i am expecting more. I do not know why the system function read(2) works like this.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Mathieu
