I wasn't knowing about this repos, I tried to download ISO in first post link is not working..., I installed Debian 12 from this link

chuangtzu.ftp.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/curre...2.1.0-amd64-xfce.iso

Hey Rodw,

Can you guide me how to setup repos manually? I'm clueless

Ok, ISO link in first step is broken so I followed spoiler steps and I'm at here now

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ethercat-dkms : Depends: libtool but it is not installable
Depends: autoconf but it is not installable
Depends: automake but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

We do not preinstall ethercat
try:sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt install ethercat-master libethercat-dev

You will also need to install the linux ethercat driver as per the first post.

Oh okay, I'll follow the instructions and share the progress.

Thanks Rodw

Hi Rod,

prevoiusly I istalled LCNC booted from USB stick, but with this file, not booting up? Did you have any suggestions? I write it with etcher, like previously.
Thanks.

have you set the boot order in the BIOS so that it tries the usb stick first.
You have not given us any useful information about what is happening.
Also what hardware?

Yes, you are right. I thought the problem is mutch simpler.
So, I have a mintbox mini, linux pc which has UEFI bios and can boot in uefi, legacy and dual mode. I set dual, and foot from usb drive.
The regular LCNC image written by etcher booting fine from the same usb stick, and the ethercat version can not, with very same process and parameters.
