for do these need to download linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.2_amd64.deb from here linuxcnc.org/downloads/
NOT INSTALL FOR NOW WAIT ...
Important things: as Tommilight advice, installing lcnc can remoove some packets ... so after my first installation fails i run:
-> sudo apt udate
-> sudo apt upgrade
so obtain the packet loses fron first lcnc install .... than reboot
After these I istall Chromium .... because firefox was unstable ... and dmesg shoe is not rtl drive related .... after boof enp1s0 is linked and never go dows ..... using chromium neve see other web page go dow at all ....
I remeber some week ago need to install something for can install Lcnc 2.9.2 ... so i check and discover need to install these packets
sudo apt-get install libgpiod2
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install autoconf
reboot .....
After I use GDebi for istall previous dowloaded Lcnc ..... than reboot
After try to have a latency test ..... good result whitout nothing do... see image above .... first and same after some time:
quite good result ... enought for servo pourpouse at least. Surely with some trik we can do better than these ... but my intentio is to use 2ms realtime so in these case is perfect.
Now need to install ethercat ....
For these I use instruction of CORBETT here ... forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/49771-etherc...ce-full-instructions SERACH FOR PART3 ... these is our point .... module config probabily is the most important things .... we have realtek NOT other easy ethernet card.

we are in kernel 6.6.13+pbo because it promised to solve problems related to the realtek card.... unfortunately I had doubts ethercat/etherlab supported the 6.6 kernel... but I also saw that either Shasa or Christian wrote something about the kernel 6.6 from the changelogs of the gihub etherlab repo....so I went straight with the test without looking too much...like a happy child.
however, to do things properly the ethercat modules should have been compiled in this way... I'll repost it for completeness:
CONFIGURE TO THE TYPE OF MODULE NEEDED
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ --disable-8139too --enable-userlib --enable-generic --enable-r8169
I didn't do it... instead I followed a guide by jjdege on an Italian forum so I used these source list:
deb [allow-insecure=yes] download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:...rLab/Debian_Testing/ ./
sudo apt-get update
KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/ethercat.gpg
curl -fsSL download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:...:/science:/EtherLab/
Debian_Testing/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee "$KEYRING" >/dev/null
Before this I made my own suggestion to configure the port with a fixed IP.... something I had never done before for ethercat which has always worked well. As usual I disabled IPV6 leaving IPV4 with mask 24 and address 10.0.0.1... nothing else configured outside the standard.
sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install ethercat-dkms libethercat libethercat-dev ethercat-master
I made the usual settings of the mac address ... also using the MODULES macro this time:
MASTER0_DEVICE="xx:aa:yy:zz:bb:cc"
DEVICE_MODULES="generic r8169"
so the system can choose whether r8169 or generic
Now I have given the usual permissions:
sudo systemctl enable ethercat.service
sudo systemctl start ethercat.service
sudo systemctl status ethercat.service
sudo chmod 666 /dev/EtherCAT0
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ethercat.rules
KERNEL=="EtherCAT[0-9]", MODE="0777"
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
NOW REBOOT.
all that remains is to check the latency test and check the dmesg
Latency seems quite good but firefox have some problem ...
dmesg show me that firefox have some problem but enp3s0 that is ethercat have no disconnection now ..... thats all and is good enought for me ....
NOW need to discover firefox problem where is and why ACPHI error see at start of post.
