<p>Dear Oguz,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps it doesn't have drivers for these kernels (I didn't actually check that to be honest), but I still managed to install it all successfully using generic driver, and disabling the one that gets installed automatically (was it <span>8139too?)</span>.
I did not observe any unwanted behaviour, and the communication runs flawlessly.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I cannot help you with the dev version.</p>
<p><br>

<p>Yours sincerely,</p>

<div>Dear Jakub,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your reply. I'll try 14.04. <br>
<br>
The etherlab master 1.5.2 tar.bz2 file on the etherlab web site doesn't have drivers for kernels higher than 3.4. But you are using kernel 3.13. So I understand that you are using the development version by downlading "hg clone
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hg.code.sf.net/p/etherlabmaster/code">
http://hg.code.sf.net/p/etherlabmaster/code</a> ethercat-hg". Am I right?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Oguz.<br>

<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

<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/" moz-do-not-send="true">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" moz-do-not-send="true">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>
