Good day!
Installed Linuxcnc 2.8.4, started configuring EtherCAT, everything went well, all devices were defined, installed the driver, rebooted, EtherCAT started, but when I enter the "ethercat master" command, I see an errorWhere to look for a problem?

What are you using to edit the files?
Only simple text editors should be used, be it xed, leafpad, geany, gedit. Never use office suite or word processors .

Can you type these commands?
Do you see an ethercat folder? If not, its broken
I found out today that the repository we have been using deploys broken deb files for Bookworm. Not sure if the same applies for Buster.
I just posted some instructiosn in the sticky in this section with a solution.
cd /lib/modules/$(uname r)
lsDo you see an ethercat folder? If not, its broken

I found today the same issue after Ethercat - Linuxcnc-ethercat installation on existing Bullseye rip. The response to the command ethercat master and/or ethercat slaves is : 'Failed to get master information: Inappropriate ioctl for device'
Thanks in advance for any help on this
Note : for Bullseye and in older (one month ago) successful installation, the commandscd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
ls
indicate no existence of any ethercat folder, although the response to the command 'ethercat master' is OK and the whole system seems operational.

I think the problem is the debs did not install correctly and EtherCAT is unable to find a driver which should be under
/lib/modules/<your kernel>/ethercat/master (and other folders under the ethercat folder mentioned)
I think the solution is to build EtherCAT master from source. I documented how to do this last night and roughly documented it here.
forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-etherc...step?start=80#273846
Please try this and let me know how you go. Note these instructions do not cover how to install the hal driver described in the first post of the thread I linked to.

Hi rodw
I followed your procedure. forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-etherc...step?start=80#273846
From the terminal the master is displayed, but the slave is not seen.
I tried the procedure used in the past with Bullseye and it works: from the terminal you can see the EtherCAT master and slave.
Note: For Bullseye I installed the dependencies before building the master from source.
I didn't do it here because I think the dependencies already installed with yesterday's .deb, and it's correct because it works
This is the procedure I followed.
I hope it can be useful.

I got an update on this. Etherlabmaster have been able to replicate the issue and have told me they will share a new .deb file via their repo in due course. Compiling from source seems to solve the problem if you can't wait for them.

HI,
I installed the .deb packages that Etherlab made available today. Work!
I started with a fresh install of Bookworm.
Thank You very much
