Took me while to recognize that you had re-railed the thread again...
As for the control boxes: I have no idea, but I have little idea anyways. So as it stands, I expect to have answer like "well we had that one guy who nḿade it work with LinuxCNC, so that is why we claim it is compatible".
So as I am willing to go quite some way to spare me the pain of running a Windows computer with closed source running my CNC, I tend to get the mechanical parts form one supplier and gather information on which steppers, mesa cards and stuff I should get to have a working LinuxCNC in the end.
I am aware that will most likely end in a bigger amount of pain in the first run, but I am willing to risk that for the better end result.
I just wait for the answer of the cnc-stepper guys and continue from there.

Hi . on Debian 10 with ethercat , for refresh configuraztion the ethercat i was use command : sudo -S update-ethercat-config

    I did the whole process to change the firmware of the stlink, it was successful, but it does not appear on my PC, the only difference is that I did not find the blue stlink so I did it in a green one, I used two green stlinks, would there be any difference? If so, how do I find the blue stlink, when I go to buy the cover and everything is the same

Strangely enough, it may be easier to start with a mesact configuration
for a 7I97T since that uses PWM out and encoder feedback.

You would need to at minimum set the PWM output mode to up/down (2)
and disable offset mode. Also of course, change the card name.
