Ethercat HAL driver

Thank you really much Sirop, I will try this out

Iam really happy that there are people willing to help so much.

Hi again,

Sirop, I just tried out what you told me I only enabled generic in configure script.

I got the same error again.

This is how the configure-stamp in rules script looks like:

configure: configure-stamp
configure-stamp: unpack-stamp patch-stamp
dh_testdir
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-linux-dir=/lib/modules/3.18.13-rt10mah+/build --enable-generic
touch $@


He is somehow trying to enable the others anyway.

Do you find out why ?

is configure -r okay or should it be configure -a ?

If you need any further information just tell me.

Thank you !

configure -r should be ok, but I do not know what to tell you now
but advise to build the master following etherlab.org/download/ethercat/ethercat-1.5.2.pdf , Chapter 9.

Thank you Sirop,

I did the following to install etherlab:

# hg clone hg.code.sf.net/p/etherlabmaster/code ethercat-hg
# cd ethercat-hg/
# hg update stable-1.5
# ./bootstrap
# ./configure --disable-8139too --enable-generic
# make
# make modules
# sudo make install
# sudo make modules_install
# sudo /sbin/depmod
# sudo ln -s /usr/local/etherlab/bin/ethercat /usr/local/bin/
#


--disable-8139too this was the key !

But Iam not sure what to do now ?

Can you help me ?

1. Make a simple test with a slave you have just to know that the master works.

2. Proceed with github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat .

Didn't I miss anything ?
how can I run the master ?
