Hi,
I use a KUbuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27.7, xenomai 2.4.6.1 and the latest rtnet version.
I set up the EthercatMasterLibrary and send some Frames (size of ~1200 byte) cylical to my Beckhoff devices.
Measuring the time (via rt_read_timer-function of timer.h) handing the frames over to the NIC last between 5 and 10 us. (its the low_level_send)
Measuring the time at the application layer is takes ~250 - 350 us. So I am loosing quite a lot time in between.
Maybe there is sth. wrong with my xenomai configuration.
I run the 'xeno-test' (results below) but the test stop at generation load.
