Rodw, I think I figured it out with a header file from royka. next issue seems to not just be related to the orangepi. i get this far and it fails.
Code:
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ sudo systemctl start ethercat.service
Job for ethercat.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ethercat.service" and "journalctl -xeu ethercat.service" for details.
I then decided to try the whole thing over again from a fresh install on a intel core i7, I used your guide here.
docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY
i get to the exact same line and it gives me the same error on amd64 as it does on arm64
Code:
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ sudo systemctl start ethercat.service
Job for ethercat.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ethercat.service" and "journalctl -xeu ethercat.service" for details.
cnc@pm833tv-cnc:~$ systemctl status ethercat.service

Code:
sudo apt-get install ethercat-dkms libethercat libethercat-dev ethercat-master
