lcec_conf: ERROR: Invalid slave type

From title, after updating to LCNC 2.9.2 I get error.
And I can't manually compile the slave device as I've always done this,
is there a solution?
Thank you very much

this terminal output

 


 

It says there is an error on line 3 of your xml file
please share it

this is the xml,
but it has always worked
I believe the FR4000 is not included in the repository devices

this is the fork here

 

Hi rodw
I did some tests, the problem is in the lcec_conf and lcec.so files loaded from the repositories are compiled without the device I use
this is the output replacing them with a backup copy that I had compiled manually
LCNC works
 


I was wondering if manual compilation has been inhibited and only devices must be used
inserted into the repositories
Thank you very much

So the hal driver has never supported this device
I thnk you should clone hte new fork from  github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat/linuxcnc-ethercat
and add the driver support and send them a pull request to get it included.
That way it will be included in the igh repository once approved...
The new fork probably will fix your build error
 

Thanks rodw for your work, all clear
I'll see what to do

Thank you very much

FWIW, I merged the FR4000 driver last week: github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat/linuxcnc-ethercat/pull/97 .

Hopefully it'll appear in the igh repository before very long.

@scottlair
thanks, I saw that you merged the driver
thanks for the work
I look forward to it appearing in the Igh repositories

I noticed that the lcec installed by the repositories are dated November
before your job

Fantastic! I updated, my device is seen by LCNC.
It doesn't see "generic" devices but I see that work is being done here
many thanks for the work

I *think* this is all fixed now with 1.5.2 or above. There's a 1.5.3 package in the .deb repository, so hopefully it's easy to upgrade and test.
