<p>Dear Oguz,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am running the standard, stable Etherlab Master 1.5.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.01 with Kernel 3.13<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols; font-size:16px"> (14.04.02
and newer have Kernels 4.x - I haven't tested them) </span>, and I can recommend it. The installation according to IgH manual should work with no problem.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I cannot advise you on any real-time interface, as our project employs CUDA, and we were unable to force Nvidia drivers to comply with any RT kernel patch.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you had any specific questions, I will be happy to answer them. </p>

<div class="PlainText">Hi all,<br>
<br>
We are currently running on ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32 and RTAI <br>
3.8.1. We are using etherlab master 1.5.2 from the tar ball on the web <br>
site (<a href="http://www.etherlab.org/en/ethercat/">http://www.etherlab.org/en/ethercat/</a>). We use R8169 driver. We use
<br>
CANopen over EtherCAT protocol.<br>
<br>
We want to upgrade our kernel version so that we can use newer device <br>
drivers (graphics, USB etc)<br>
<br>
I noticed, in ethercat master 1.5.2 tarball, the latest supported kernel <br>
version for ethernet drivers are 3.4. But in the development branch <br>
newer kernels are also supported.<br>
<br>
I'm having some porting problems with different distros and RTAI <br>
versions. Most likely they are due to my mistakes. But I want to be sure <br>
that I'm going to the right direction. So,<br>
<br>
* Can you suggest a verifed newer linux distro, kernel, RTAI version? <br>
Which versions / distros are you using? Can I use RTAI 5.1?<br>
<br>
* Also is it safe to use the development version with (or without) <br>
Gavin's patches <br>
(<a href="https://sourceforge.net/u/uecasm/etherlab-patches/ci/default/tree/#readme">https://sourceforge.net/u/uecasm/etherlab-patches/ci/default/tree/#readme</a>)?
<br>
Should I be aware of some potential problems?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Oguz.<br>
