Rodw, I think I figured it out with a header file from royka. next issue seems to not just be related to the orangepi. i get this far and it fails.
Code:
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ sudo systemctl start ethercat.service Job for ethercat.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ethercat.service" and "journalctl -xeu ethercat.service" for details.

I then decided to try the whole thing over again from a fresh install on a intel core i7, I used your guide here.

docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY

i get to the exact same line and it gives me the same error on amd64 as it does on arm64
Code:
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ sudo systemctl start ethercat.service Job for ethercat.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ethercat.service" and "journalctl -xeu ethercat.service" for details. cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ systemctl status ethercat.service × ethercat.service - EtherCAT Master Kernel Modules Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ethercat.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2023-06-18 22:28:29 PDT; 4min 22s ago Process: 17371 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ethercatctl start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 17371 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 33ms cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ journalctl -xeu ethercat.service Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. Users in groups 'adm', 'systemd-journal' can see all messages. Pass -q to turn off this notice.

when i scroll back up in the terminal i also noticed that before i got this far there were already errors
Code:
sudo apt-get install ethercat-dkms libethercat libethercat-dev ethercat-master

spat out these errors

Code:

in the past on this PC i was able to complete the whole guide and get a working ethercat master but i can not repeat that anymore

I saw this over the weekend. check the comands they say for warnings. Stretch the window to read it all.. 

Also this fixed mine (sudo apt install kmod if not found)
sudo depmod

I did get it installed on a bookworm RC4 that I upgraded to the final release

As Corbett  stated earlier, the debs are broken. 
The solution is to build from source.
I've documented the steps in the attachment and have tested it on a new instance of debian Bookworm installed as per the 2.9 docs
I'll do this up in another seperate post in th enext couple of days.

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/ ./
[img

so on deb 12 I use the linux ethercat lib for deb 11 from etherlab
[img


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
[img


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:
Code:
include ../config.mk include Kbuild cc-option = $(shell if $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(1) -S -o /dev/null -xc /dev/null \ > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo "$(1)"; else echo "$(2)"; fi .PHONY: all clean install ifeq ($(BUILDSYS),kbuild) module = $(patsubst %.o,%.ko,$(obj-m)) ifeq (,$(findstring -Wframe-larger-than=,$(EXTRA_CFLAGS))) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wframe-larger-than=2560) endif $(module): $(MAKE) EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)" KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS="$(RTLIBDIR)/Module.symvers $(RTAIDIR)/modules/ethercat/Module.symvers" -C $(KERNELDIR) SUBDIRS=`pwd` CC=$(CC) V=0 modules clean:: rm -f $(obj-m) rm -f *.mod.c .*.cmd rm -f modules.order Module.symvers rm -rf .tmp_versions else module = $(patsubst %.o,%.so,$(obj-m)) EXTRA_CFLAGS := $(filter-out -Wframe-larger-than=%,$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)) $(module): $(lcec-objs) $(CC) -shared -o $@ $(lcec-objs) -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBDIR) -L$(LIBDIR) -llinuxcnchal -lethercat -lrt %.o: %.c $(CC) -o $@ $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -Os -c $< endif all: $(module) clean:: rm -f $(module) rm -f $(lcec-objs) install: $(module) mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(RTLIBDIR) cp $(module) $(DESTDIR)$(RTLIBDIR)/

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 )
Code:
Note the ";)" on line 5 after "fi" - this ";)" is not present in the spoiler code in the guide.
Code:
include ../config.mk include Kbuild cc-option = $(shell if $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(1) -S -o /dev/null -xc /dev/null \ > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo "$(1)"; else echo "$(2)"; fi ;) .PHONY: all clean install ifeq ($(BUILDSYS),kbuild) module = $(patsubst %.o,%.ko,$(obj-m)) ifeq (,$(findstring -Wframe-larger-than=,$(EXTRA_CFLAGS))) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wframe-larger-than=2560) endif $(module): $(MAKE) EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)" KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS="$(RTLIBDIR)/Module.symvers $(RTAIDIR)/modules/ethercat/Module.symvers" -C $(KERNELDIR) SUBDIRS=`pwd` CC=$(CC) V=0 modules clean:: rm -f $(obj-m) rm -f *.mod.c .*.cmd rm -f modules.order Module.symvers rm -rf .tmp_versions else module = $(patsubst %.o,%.so,$(obj-m)) EXTRA_CFLAGS := $(filter-out -Wframe-larger-than=%,$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)) $(module): $(lcec-objs) $(CC) -shared -o $@ $(lcec-objs) -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBDIR) -L$(LIBDIR) -llinuxcnchal -lethercat -lrt %.o: %.c $(CC) -o $@ $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -Os -c $< endif all: $(module) clean:: rm -f $(module) rm -f $(lcec-objs) install: $(module) mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(RTLIBDIR) cp $(module) $(DESTDIR)$(RTLIBDIR)/
