Ethercat HAL driver

Thank you for your help.
i cant figure out the problem.
Datatype complex makes more sens, but this is not the problem.

i have two scenarios.
the first one is, if i use configpdos = false
Then linuxcnc does not stars and the debuginfo says failed to set safeop. 0x0017 invalid sync manager configuration.

The other one is configpdos = true
then the drives gets an error F29 invalid ECAT command-value mapping length.

can you imagine what the problem is?
Tanks

The buffered mode is typically used for cyclic data exchange, i.e. process data (PDO) since the buffered mode allows access to the communication buffer at any time for both sides [...]

It can be noted that SyncManagers running in buffered mode need three times the process data size allocated in the DPRAM (fig. A.5).

Hi,
i red this article sir.upc.edu/wikis/roblab/index.php/Development/Ethercat.
But now i don't know how to check the EEPROM

A quick solution for the missing information is to generate the SII contents from the slave description XML file using Beckhoff's TwinCAT, and write them to the slave.
