I couldn't install ethercat master either. But i can type and see ethercat slaves.

First i followed these instructions, but i couldn't get it working.

docs.google.com/document/d/1GiB065ZIAaoM...GQl2X9DM9-THNM/edit#

Then, i followed "Grotius" steps.

It also didn't work.

Hi,

your are running on an old rtai kernel.

Rtai support for lcnc-ethercat has been dropped years ago.
You have to use an uspace kernel (preempt rt).
the best way would be to get one of grotius actual ethercat images installed.
or get the actual buster iso and do an manual install.

Wheezy Rtai will not work.

Thank you for your response.

Is there any link to follow these procedures?

I tried buster installation. But it constantly freezes on network configuration... So i wanted to try 2.7 version.

I could servo on and jog an axis though.

"I could servo on and jog an axis though." i don't understand that sentence.... you are not able to compile lcnc ethercat ......

does an normal buster install (without lcnc) also freeze? (debian.org)
