Ethercat HAL driver

Hello Sirop,
I just tried what you told me to install linuxcnc ethercat with rt preempt.

I always get "no realtime kernels found!"

Iam testing from virtual box.

This must be because of this block:

What can I do now ?

Try
if you want to use the kernel currently running
according to github.com/sittner/ec-debianize/blob/mas...an/configure#L23-L24 .

Hello Sirop

I tried this steps in Debian Jessie with RT-Preempt:


1st Download ethercat master from IgH from here:
www.etherlab.org/download/ethercat/ethercat-1.5.2.tar.bz2

2nd Open a shellTerminal, and go to the folder that contains the ethercat master, and Untar the file

3rd download debian folder from sittner from here:
github.com/sittner/ec-debianize/archive/master.zip

4th Unzip the file "ec-debianize-master.zip"

5th copy debian folder (the was produced in 4th step) to /ethercat-1.5.2/ (that was produced 2nd step)

6th Now I edited the configure File as you told me

7th now in the shell terminal, use the following instructions:
cd ethercat-1.5.2
cd debian
./configure -r -> configuration succesfull !!
cd ..
sudo apt-get update
dpkg-checkbuilddeps -> everything here
(I was missing dpatch package)
dpkg-buildpackage

with buildpackage following error occurs:



Sorry I could not copy past this ..

I think I need to reconfigure something else ?

Seems to be that there are no drivers yet for 3.18:
sourceforge.net/p/etherlabmaster/code/ci/default/tree/devices/

I need to use generic driver for my network source anyway, on igh homepage I found out that generic works with preempt. Can I somehow disable them and only enable generic ?

Change to
in configure .
