[Etherlab-users] [Unofficial patchset] Unable to use realtime Master#1 in Xenomai 3

[Zanne Philippe]

Hello,

I think I found the solution, the rtdm interface for xenomai 3 allows to manage only one device, it is necessary to increase the value of « device_count »  of the « rtdm_driver »  structure in the rtdm_xenomai_v3.c file (line 282).

>> Hello 
>> I am using unofficial patchset to be able to use the EtherCAT master code in Xenomai 3. I enabled 2 masters on 2 NIC ports. I built an application using libethercat_rtdm, this application work fine if I conrtol slave via Master#0. However when I switch to Master#1 ( ecrt_request_master(1) ) then I got the error "Failed to open /dev/rtdm/EtherCAT1: No such device or address" althought both /dev/rtdm/EtherCAT0 and /dev/rtdm/EtherCAT1 exist. 
>> By the way, this application worked well on Xenomai 2 system, on both Master#0 and Master#1.
>> Any advise?
>> Thank you.
