• FlexCard Cyclone II (SE)
• FlexCard PMC/PCI

• Linux-Kernel version 2.6.20.x ⇐ 2.6.20.15
• Xenomai v2.3.3

• 32 Bit Intel (x86)

• Kernel-module as direct interface to the hardware
• Upon Kernel module shared library with user interface

In order to use xenomai for realtime applications, the user has to patch the Linux Kernel and install the xenomai libraries. The operation of one or more FlexCards using xenomai is only possible if the HW is operated on one interupt line which is not via IRQ-Sharing used by non xenomai devices. It is not possible to mix realtime and non realtime devices by using the same IRQ.

• Transmit and receive of FlexRay-messages
• Receive activities via FIFO or Receive-Buffer possible
• Asynchrone monitoring (e..g. recording of startup)
• Eventhandling of NewCycle-, WakeUp- and Timer-Events
• Enable / disable reception of Nullframes
• Transmit acknowledgement
• Transmit and receive of FlexRay-Symbols and Wake-Up-Pattern
• Synchron state of network will be reported immediately with timestamp
• Error conditions (e.g. Bus-/ Syntaxerror) are reported directly to the user
• Parallel mode of up to 4 cards suuported
• Enables realtime operations in userspace

The Xenomai driver will be delivered as Debian-packet (deb-format). Contence of packet:

• Kernel-Module
• Shared Library
• Header-Files for API-Access
• API-Documentation in English
• Examples with sourcecode
