I start to try Sittner new repository <
github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat
> , and make, make install.
Everything goes well until I try to load my configure xml, there are errors as follow:
Code:
halcmd: loadusr -W lcec_conf ethercat_config_my.xml
lcec_conf: ERROR: unexpected node master found
lcec_conf: ERROR: Parse error at line 1: parsing aborted
<stdin>:4: lcec_conf exited without becoming ready
My configure file as below:
Code:
<master idx="0" appTimePeriod="1000000" refClockSyncCycles="1">
<slave idx="0" type="generic" vid="00000539" pid="02200001" configPdos="true">
<syncManager idx="0" dir="out"/>
<syncManager idx="1" dir="in"/>
<syncManager idx="2" dir="out">
<pdo idx="1602">
<pdoEntry idx="6040" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="drivecontrol" halType="bit"/>
<pdoEntry idx="60FF" subIdx="00" bitLen="32" halPin="velocity" halType="s32"/>
</pdo>
</syncManager>
<syncManager idx="3" dir="in">
<pdo idx="1A02">
<pdoEntry idx="6041" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="drivestatus" halType="bit"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6064" subIdx="00" bitLen="32" halPin="pos" halType="S32"/>
</pdo>
</syncManager>
<dcConf assignActivate="300" sync0Cycle="*1" sync0Shift="0"/>
<sdoConfig idx="6060" subIdx="0">
<sdoDataRaw data="08"/>
</sdoConfig
><sdoConfig idx="60C2" subIdx="1">
<sdoDataRaw data="01"/>
</sdoConfig>
<sdoConfig idx="60C2" subIdx="2">
<sdoDataRaw data="FD"/>
</sdoConfig>
</slave>
</master>
I think my configure file format should be OK, because I use it before. May I know how to test this new respository works ?
I already start ethercat,
or
show normal.
By the way

Sorry...one more question..
when I tried roschi's sameple hal and ini files to load linuxcnc, i got errors:
my-mill.hal:4: execv(lcec_conf): No such file or directory
my-mill.hal:4: lcec_conf exited without becoming ready
This line gives the error: loadusr -W lcec_conf /root/linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/ethercat_config_n.xml
I did place the correct xml file inside my config folder.
I saw from one of the video that you run
/etc/init.d/ethercat start
before you run linuxcnc. However, for my case, there is no ethercat file in /etc/init.d. Is there any mistakes in my installation?

I also meet this problem when I install hal on another computer.
Can u tell me how to solve it ?
Thank U.
After you install etherlab, the default directory will be /opt/etherlab
you can use soft link
Code:
sudo ln -s /opt/etherlab/etc/init.d/ethercat /etc/init.d/ethercat
Then you can start ethercat by
Code:
/etc/init.d/ethercat start
Hope it helps.
