1 ORTE - Open Real-Time Ethernet
2 ------------------------------
6 ORTE is open source implementation of the RTPS communication protocol
7 defined by Real Time Innovations (http://www.rti.com). RTPS is a new
8 application layer protocol, targeted at real-time communication area,
9 which is build on top of the standard UDP stack.
11 Which targets are supported by ORTE?
12 -----------------------------------
13 UNIX - Linux, Solars, MacOS, FreeBSD
14 Windows - MinGW, CygWin, MSVC, PharLap
15 RTLinux - with preliminary UDP stack
18 Android - see README.android
22 powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
24 How to compile and install it?
25 ---------------------------
27 Simply untar installation package into desired directory, enter this
28 directory and issue the following commands.
30 UserSpace compilation:
35 After this procedure ortemanager and orteping are placed in
36 /usr/local/bin, the library is placed in /usr/local/lib and include
37 headers in /usr/local/include.
39 RTLinux compilation with wIP: (DEPRICATED)
40 ./configure --with-linux=/patched_linux_dir/ --with-rtlinux=/rtlinux_dir/ --with-rtlinuxwip=/wip_dir/
44 RTLinux compilation with onetd: (DEPRICATED)
45 ./configure --with-linux=/patched_linux_dir/ --with-rtlinux=/rtlinuxh_dir/ --with-rtlinuxonetd=/onetd_dir/
50 ./configure --with-linux=/patched_linux_dir/ --with-rtai=/rtai dir/ --with-rtnet=/rtnet dir/
55 ./configure --with-java=/java_home_dir/
60 Another way of compiling ORTE is to use OMK compilation method. See
61 https://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/omk/ for details about OMK. Just run
65 in the root of the ORTE project. This will create _compiled directory,
66 which will contain the compiled binaries as well as other files.
72 see :ortemanager -h for usage
74 note: ortemanager have to be running during all communication. For
75 future work can be added into /etc/init.d/... script for starting
76 ortemanager during boot of machine. This scripts (redhat and mandrake)
77 are located in "orte/manager/rc/ortemanagerd". For developing a RT
78 application, ortemnager can be running in userspace. Start it with
79 parameter "-k 192.168.4.2". This address is the IP address of the RT
82 How to test communication?
83 -------------------------
85 In a shell try to type "orteping -p -s". This will create one
86 publisher and one subscriber with the same topic and type. If you see
89 [root@localhost ORTEPing]# ./orteping -p -s
91 received fresh issue 1
93 received fresh issue 2
95 received fresh issue 3
97 then communication works. If you see only sending messages, it is a
98 sign that ortemanager is not probably running. See "orteping -h" for
101 Now, you can develop your applications (see documentation).
103 Obtaining the code from Git repository
104 --------------------------------------
106 You can obtain the latest ORTE source code from Git repository by
109 $ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/orte/orte
114 To build ORTE code from Git, you will need Autoconf, Automake, and any
115 tools that those utilities require (GNU m4, Perl, etc.). See the
116 configure.in file to find the minimum versions of each of these tools.
118 After checking out the code, you will need to perform these steps to
119 get to the point where you can run "configure" and "make".
121 $ make -f Makefile.git
123 Feedback is welcome - send bug reports, enhancements, checks, money
124 orders, etc. to ORTE maintainers <orte@rtime.felk.cvut.cz>. The mail
125 will go to Petr Smolik, Michal Sojka and Pavel Pisa.
