Hard Real-time Networking on Firewire

چکیده
This paper investigates the possibility of using standard, low-cost, widely used FireWire as a new generation fieldbus medium for real-time distributed control applications. A real-time software subsystem, RT-FireWire was designed that can, in combination with Linux-based real-time operating system, provide hard real-time communication over FireWire. In addition, a high-level module that can emulate Ethernet over RT-FireWire was implemented. This additional module enables existing IP-based realtime communication frameworks to work on top of FireWire. The real-time behavior of RT-FireWire was demonstrated with a simple control setup. Furthermore, an outlook of the future development on RT-FireWire is given.

Moreover, an overview of av...
متن کاملFireWire Finally Comes Home
117 Standards I n February 1997, I wrote a Computer column titled " Linking Computers and Consumer Electronics, " which described the IEEE 1394 networking standard, otherwise known as FireWire. FireWire was designed to link personal computers, digital cameras , televisions, DVD players, printers, and other home electronics equipment. In one sense, FireWire represented the technology behind all ...
متن کاملA Linux Real-Time Packet Scheduler for Reliable Static SDN Routing
In a distributed computing environment, guaranteeing the hard deadline for real-time messages is essential to ensure schedulability of real-time tasks. Since capabilities of the shared resources for transmission are limited, e.g., the buffer size is limited on network devices, it becomes a challenge to design an effective and feasible resource sharing policy based on both the demand of real-tim...
متن کاملSupport Industrial Hard Real-Time Traffic with Switched Ethernet
This paper presents a simple and efficient switched Ethernet communication protocol for industrial hard real-time LAN applications. The network is founded with end nodes and a switch, and hard real-time communication is handled by software added between the Ethernet protocols and the TCP/IP suites. We established a virtual link of the source and destination node by applying admission control ba...
متن کاملThe Arbitrated Real-Time Protocol (AR-TP): A Ravenscar Compliant Communication Protocol for High-Integrity Distributed Systems
A new token-passing algorithm called AR-TP for avoiding the nondeterminism of some networking technologies is presented. This protocol—based on RT-EP, a research protocol also based on transmission control techniques— allows the schedulability analysis of the network, enabling the use of standard Ethernet hardware for Hard Real-Time behavior while adding congestion management. It is specially d...
