Ahoj Slav,
Pretty sure there is an ISO with ethercat installed in one of these links made by Grotius, so try to find it.
There should be several versions so find the latest.

Hello, I encountered such a problem when I executed ： sudo ./get_source.sh
I get this :

hg: unknown command 'qpush'
'qpush' is provided by the following extension:

mq manage a stack of patches

use "hg help extensions" for information on enabling extensions

Can you help me solve it? Thank you

Hi @Wang,

please see post: forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/3559...tall?start=50#157205 , on the earlier page of this thread (p6 by default).

I hope this helps.

I think this is because the first step which use mercurial (hg) did not completely succeed. Restart from the install EtherCAT step 0
Make sure you got:

sudo apt-get install quilt

before. But this is more likely due to the mercurial hg options. At the first step doing:

Code:

cd ec-debianize ./get_source.sh

Read carefully the output. There might be an error indicated even if it is not clearly flagging it. This might implies hg extensions which use the qpush command which requires the mq extension. To add an extension in mercurial, follow the suggested help displayed on the terminal, creating a ~/.hgrc , ie on your home directory. Then edit this file as a text file:

Code:

[extensions] mq =

Retry step ./get_source.sh till you got a complete success of this step. I have noticed that this might work or not depending how you did the git cloning with or without root privilege. Same thing with the creation of the .hgrc file. You might have also to

Code:

sudo ./get_source.sh

as this is copying some files in specific locations.

Let me know how it this help, at least send the output of the ./get_source.

Once this step is successful you can carry on the installation

Thank you,
Nicolas

I read your post and I also encountered this problem. I would like to ask how you linked to the real-time kernel
I think you said to delete the non-real-time kernel mandatory link, but how to delete the non-real-time kernel and not update a new kernel? Because sudo apt-get remove linux-image-*** he will install a new high version kernel. And do you need to reinstall ec-debianizer
