If you don't get a good response here you might be better off raising an issue with
the developer at github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat/linuxcnc-ethercat
I think he got one Omron MX2 himself and that's why it is supported directly.

just a playful child

the platform (zynq/vivado) is actually quite cool and if i hadn't approached it like the other fpga's, it would have been much easier.

if a linux is already on it, you only need a usb-serial adapter and you can configure the network.
the bitfile can then be copied and started via scp/ssh.

The downside of these things is that vivado is very slow and the FPGAs are very expensive when new.

and you should have 100gb of space on your disk

Be you man or be you God ?

Hi all!

first of all, great work! I managed to get everything running just by reading all the great posts here! All the nice HowTo´s and so on... 

But now i got stuck...

what do i have?

i´m running a RPi 5 with LinuxCNC (latest Preempt Version) 
a Mesa 7i76EU (everything working)
a Pendant WHB04-6 (everything working)
and some Beckhoff EtherCat modules (everything working)
and last i got my self an EtherCat Module for the Omron MX2 (partial working)

I can´t figure out how to drive the Omron MX2, there is some mismatch in the type of the controlword
my ethercat xml has only the Modulelist, no special entries like syncmaster and so on... 

the Device shows up in the HalShow under lcec, all "Pins" are viseble, ethercat slaves shows the device... so i think its just a small config problem in the xml

maybe someone out here who has it running...

Thanks for looking / helping...

Cheers Einar
