[etherlab-users] Which version of kernel and RTAI should I use?

[Sebastien BLANCHET]

Hi,

For a first try, I strongly suggest to use PREEMPT RT instead of RTAI 
for a hassle free experience. When you gain more experience, you can 
switch easily back to RTAI.

EtherCAT Master 1.5.2 works perfectly with Debian 7 PREEMPT RT kernel 
(Linux 3.2)

If you want to use a more recent kernel, like 4.9 PREEMPT RT kernel from 
Debian 9, you have to download a more recent version of EtherCAT Master 
from the Mercurial repository.
