Ethercat HAL driver

I think it doesn't reach the op state.

When I try to start Linuxcnc with my configuration, I get the following error messages:
lcec_conf: ERROR: unexpected node syncmanager found
lcec_conf: ERROR: Parse error at line 4: parsing aborted
/usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/ethercat.hal:1: waitpid failed lcec_conf lcec_conf
/usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/ethercat.hal:1: lcec_conf exited without becoming ready

After that lcnc is shutting down.
I attached my .ini, my ethercat.hal and my ethercat-config.xml

I hope you can find what I am missing here (I am new to linux, linuxcnc and HAL)
best regards

Hello,

-"syncmanager" hast to be "syncManager" ( M)

-as haltypes only exists (float, bit, u32, s32) you have to change this
uint = u32, int = s32

-at this stage for getting ethercat communication to work, your hal file works.
but for motion etc. it will not. search in this thread for "execution order" i have explained this a few times...

Okay, so if I got u right, I need to do your suggested changes in my ethercat-conf.xml.
But if UINT=u32 int=s32, what about DINT and SINT?
I guess that they are not float, but are they bit?

Dint and Sint , are s32 too. IN hal they are all 4 Byte, casting is done by the value of bitlen .

Changed the syncmanager Entrys to syncManager, and changed the data types like you described it. Now I got the following errors:

I see that got no permission to enter the ethercat-conf file but I did not find the option where i can change the entry permissions yet..

is the hal file still the same as above?
seems like a typo, because at one of your last posts, lcec_conf has worked...

No I changed it a little bit, because of the execution order stuff you mentioned.
This is it now:

in line 2 the component is missing.

change:

loadusr -W /home/sfm100/linuxcnc/configs/SFM100/ethercat-conf.xml

to:

loadusr -W lcec_conf /home/sfm100/linuxcnc/configs/SFM100/ethercat-conf.xml

 

Took my old ethercat.hal file with the adjustments you mentioned, but I got a different error. Seems like I got Permission issues for some access..
I attached the used file below and the error message from the terminal.
