The Time Division Multiple Access discipline is the default RTmac
|
protocol for Ethernet networks. It consists of a master synchronising
|
the access of the slaves to the media by periodically issuing frames.
|
Backup masters can be set up to take over if the primary master fails.
|
TDMA also provides a global clock across all participants. The tdmacfg
|
tool can be used to configure a real-time NIC to use TDMA.

See Documenatation/README.rtmac for further details.

Enables TDMA master and backup master support for the node. This can
