Beckhoff ethercat 64 with bit linuxcnc, How to install.

Hi
Skiping:
Terminal: ./configure uspace
All whent well

okay, that means linuxcnc is running as rip install now ?

Yes
I suppose is normal that the configs folder is the same

next steps;

1 installing lcnc-ethercat for the rip Install
In the terminal you already have execute the rip-environment script,
navigate to your linuxcnc-ethercat folder
Terminal: make clean
Terminal; make install
now lcnc is new compiled and the last lines that appear on screen should copy (cp) lcec_conf and lcec.so to the rip folder your_foldername
2 add the task-pll-functions patch to linuxcnc
in your linuxcnc-ethercat folder there is a subfolder patches, add the add-task-pll-functions-2.8.patch to your rip install.
Terminal: cd your_foldername/src
Terminal: git apply lcnc-ethercat path/patches/add-task-pll-functions-2.8.patch
should be no error...
3 Compile linuxcnc again
close the terminal, and open a new one.
navigate to your_foldername/src
repeat step 7 +8 from the last post.

now modify your ethercat_conf.xml:
-first line: change refClockSyncCycles= to "-1"
-change the dc_conf line:
<dcConf assignActivate="730" sync0Cycle="250000" sync0Shift="0" sync1Cycle="750000" sync1Shift="0"/>

start your config with the rip install, and check if it goes to OP again. There should be no sync errors anymore.

with this patch we syncronizise your Master/Network card to the clock from the slave. i will explain this later in detail...

They weren't copied:

Do I copy them by Hand? which are the right files and folders?

strange.. have you executed rip-environment before the makes in ethercat

-lcec_conf -> your_foldername/bin
-lcec.so -> your_foldername/rtlib

this is an rt-preempt system or ?

i'm a little confused about the Xenomai problem, have to check this tommorow.

git apply the_ patch , has given no errors ?
I compiled a few days ago without errors, maybe there is something broken with your rt kernel installation / config.

Yes, at the point 8, just for testing twice.

The lcec.so and lcec_conf from linuxcnc-ethercat/crc/

Right?

this is an rt-preempt system or ?

yes from linuxcnc-ethercat/src/
