Ethercat HAL driver

Actually, I use machinekit on debian 8 with xenomai, so kernel 3.8.

The official repo sourceforge.net/p/etherlabmaster/code/ci/default/tree/devices/ has adopted drivers 8139too for up to 3.16 kernel version.

The unoffical repo sourceforge.net/u/uecasm/etherlab-patche...default/tree/#readme has some device patches for up to 4.13 kernel version.
Please report if you succeed to use these patches.

hi Sirop,
If I use generic driver because I did not find for e1000e, is not it a good idea?

well, generic driver always means higher latency.

thanks, I will install debian again on a new hard drive and I will try to install the patches and re-compile everything if it works, I will inform you of the progress, thanks

Hello Sirop,
installed again debian stretch, updated, installed new igh ethercat patching the source to work with the network card with intel chip 8255 "intel pro / 1000" with the controller "e1000e", has been a success, then I will do a few tests of synchronism in DC mode if it works better, I inform.

Have you installed the Igh ethercat master on stretch with preempt-rt ?
Are there any other successful attempts (other than chimeno) at running the Igh ethercat master with debian preempt-rt kernel?

hello Automata,
Installed patches not officilaes for the stretch version in i386 mode for RT-PREEMPT, no problems, you can put your procedure from 0 to see if I see where the problem is.
