Rodw, I think I figured it out with a header file from royka. next issue seems to not just be related to the orangepi. i get this far and it fails.
I then decided to try the whole thing over again from a fresh install on a intel core i7, I used your guide here.
docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY
i get to the exact same line and it gives me the same error on amd64 as it does on arm64
when i scroll back up in the terminal i also noticed that before i got this far there were already errors
spat out these errors
in the past on this PC i was able to complete the whole guide and get a working ethercat master but i can not repeat that anymore
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ sudo systemctl start ethercat.service
Job for ethercat.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ethercat.service" and "journalctl -xeu ethercat.service" for details.I then decided to try the whole thing over again from a fresh install on a intel core i7, I used your guide here.

I saw this over the weekend. check the comands they say for warnings. Stretch the window to read it all..
Also this fixed mine (sudo apt install kmod if not found)
sudo depmod
I did get it installed on a bookworm RC4 that I upgraded to the final release

As Corbett stated earlier, the debs are broken.
The solution is to build from source.
I've documented the steps in the attachment and have tested it on a new instance of debian Bookworm installed as per the 2.9 docs
I'll do this up in another seperate post in th enext couple of days.

I think the debs are now fixed after I reported a bug but I have not tested them yet.As Corbett stated earlier, the debs are broken.

Thanks everyone for your work.
I also had problems with the .debs, I tested the .debs updated to June 20, 2023, I followed the instructions and it works, but from the terminal if I request ethercat master, I get this message: "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
and the master is not recognized.
Thanks again !

Yes, I am getting the same error. I have lodged an issue with etherlabmaster. Initially they said they had a regression that was fixed in a later version and he reverted it in the packages for me yesterday. This lets EtherCAT load, but this error remains. Stay tuned....Thanks everyone for your work.

Dear Fellows
I been using this installation notes from Mr. Rodw for deb 12
and I found the on Debian 12 the repository from Etherlab## for Bookworm
deb [allow-insecure=yes] download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:...rLab/Debian_Testing/ ./
is not working on fine
1 the file secure sing , but can be bypassed but
2 but on
sudo apt-get install ethercat-dkms libethercat libethercat-dev ethercat-master
has a error on the repositories by file chechsum , and I am not expert so I cannot install it
well to by pass I install the repository from deb 11
## for Bullseye
deb [allow-insecure=yes] download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:.../EtherLab/Debian_11/ ./
so on deb 12 I use the linux ethercat lib for deb 11 from etherlab
so I continue and after some linux cnc .ini, .hal, end .xml files mistakes and cia-402 repository installation missing files
finally I make my nuc pc with ECT86 step drive x 3, and RTEC1616 IOs card working
well by the moment by local lab works fine on my bridgeport cnc series 1 ,
I do not know what can happen in the future for the file mix bettween
dev12 Linux a 6.1.0.9-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREETEM_RT debian 6.1.27-1 (2023-05-08) x86_64 with ~~/science:/EtherLab/Debian_11/
but by the moment looks ok with the screen qtdragon
Thank you

Thanks for the guide. Incredibly helpful.
Debian Bookworm ISO, then installed LinuxCNC 2.9 as per linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/getting-start...etting-linuxcnc.html
I got the "undefined symbol: ecrt_slave_config_sdo" error after following the standard guide steps in the first post of this thread..
I tried replacing realtime.mk with the revisions in the spoiler:
That did not work - giving an error about a missing ; (or : I can't remember). There is a difference between the code in the spoiler and the code in the linked thread.
The following code worked for me. From Stormholt's post in the linked thread (forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ve-config-sdo#203252)
