Dear EtherLab community,<br>
<br>
I would like to inform you about a new patch of the etherlab-code
that I just uploaded on GitHub:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SchapplM/etherlab-code-extmodepatch">https://github.com/SchapplM/etherlab-code-extmodepatch</a><br>
<br>
The patch presents a simplified version of EtherLab using the
external mode of Matlab/Simulink. Brief summary:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"> This is a patched version of EtherLab with the purpose of a vast simplifi-
cation of the code and using the external mode in Simulink without losing
real-time capabilities. The performed changes are:
- remove syslog
- remove pdserv
- remove multitasking
- remove arguments
- adjusted overrun notification
- add external mode and change thread-concept
- main is running as a low-priority-thread
- executes time-consuming, undeterministic extmode functions
- simulink model runs in single-tasking-mode in an RT-priority thread
The advantage is a simplified control and iteration of a Simulink model,
since no additional PdServ application has to be created.
</pre>
</blockquote>
The code was created by Lucas Jürgens in his Bachelor's Thesis at
the Institute for Automatic Control at the Leibniz University of
Hannover, Germany.<br>
<br>
If you have any comments on the patch I would be happy to discuss
them with you.<br>
I am especially interested if you think this is a useful extension
or if there are major issues in the principle, since we also use the
code in some realtime control testbeds.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Moritz Schappler<br>
