Problem solved.

Great thanks to all for your efforts.

As Corbett  stated earlier, the debs are broken. 
 

I think the debs are now fixed after I reported a bug but I have not tested them yet.

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....

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 )
