Etherlab
EtherLAB developed an EtherCAT master software that runs as a Linux kernel module. As a result, it is far faster than user-space implementation. However, building the Ethercat Master implementation with a Linux kernel requires to build it using the appropriate kernel version. As we build it with PREEMPT-RT, we shall have the appropriate version for the kernel, the PREEMPT-RT patch and Etherlab. It seems that the 2.6.33 release of the kernel meet these requirements.
