The older versions are suitable for ethercat, the latest versions have a kernel that ethercat doesn't support.
Also there are some very old 64 and 32 bit PC versions there as well.
The downloads page on the homepage points to the most recent versions.

That may have been resolved by the etherlabmaster guys by a recent commit on their  repo. We install from their repo so any changes flow through via their Buildbot without further action other than an apt update if an existing install or reinstalling the image.

Ethercat appears to install ok, some modules are built for the current kernel, some are built for 6.1.0-31-arm64.

With no Ethercat devices connected I get this, would this indicate a good install ?

Yeh, that looks OK. If Ethercat was going to fail due to unsupported kernel, you would not have got that far...

OK that's a good start, all we need is someone to confirm with actual hardware.

The Radxa Zero 3E is a nice small SBC very similar to the Pi Zero but available with more RAM and an ethernet connector. You don't want to use it for step generation, but with the latest Armbian running a 6.12 RT kernel, the latency is ok, especially for a headless motion controller running a servo-thread. Could be interesting for example in a OpenPNP setup. One problem is that USB is not working with current kernel, but this will probably be fixed soon.

Yesterday I ran a G1F1X100 command with 6 TMC5160 connected over SPI @ 6MHz and spidev driver; the servo-thread (reading all 6 position, writing all 6 speed, only one PID) stayed under 0.75 ms for the entire 100 minutes.
