XML file for EasyCAT board (LAN9252) was created by stirra

I am working on a modular control setup using AB&T's EasyCAT lan9252 boards. Currently I have one wired up to spi on a Nucleo F401RE board, and can communicate with it using the AB&T Navigator and Configurator apps (under Windows). I can see it from Linuxcnc using "ethercat slaves" and "ethercat pdos". Before I start from scratch figuring out the xml file, does anybody have one built already? I'm using the default 64x64 configuration on the EasyCAT (64 bytes input, 64 bytes output). I was hoping that "ethercat xml" would generate something close, but it doesn't put any of the linuxcnc hal elements in.

Thanks,
-- Ralph

Thank you for that fast response! This xml certainly gets me farther, as I no longer get an error running 'halcmd -W lcec_conf', but I also don't see any pins show up.

Output from STM32 connected to Easycat PRO board:

I seem to be missing some step to get it out of PREOP state.

Sorry,

Replied by stirra on topic XML file for EasyCAT board (LAN9252)

The new xml file causes lcec to throw an error. The old xml file with an Easycat configured for 32x32 in/out still shows no pins with the previous xml file. Any more ideas?

ralph@ralph:~/linuxcnc/configs/easycat$ halcmd loadusr -W lcec_conf easycat-64.xml
rtapi_shmem_new failed due to shmget(key=0xacb572c7): Invalid argument

Hello stirra,
I have checked the XML file (64 bytes) again, and it seems correct. I can't try it, but from the trace, it seems there is a problem during the allocation of the shared memory. I'm not an expert on Linux, maybe there's a problem with root / sudo administrator rights? The 32 bytes XML file is not correct, the ID of the slave is wrong, and for this reason it doesn't try to start.

Now we're making progress! I have pins showing up now. Steps needed to get there were:

1) run 'halcmd loadrt lcec' - but this gave duplicate name errors, so

2) in the easycat-conf.xml file, I changed all the "Bytexx" names in the output
section to "out-bytexx", and all the "Bytexx" names in the input section to
"in-bytexx".

3) run 'halcmd addf lcec.read-all servo-thread' and 'halcmd addf lcec.write-all servo-thread'

Now a long list of pins is shown with 'halcmd show pin', lcec.state-op is TRUE, but the values of the pins aren't changing, even though the microcontroller is writing incrementing numbers into several PDO byte registers. I feel like I'm getting really, really close to success. I'll worry about figuring out the 64 byte configuration problem later.

It looks like I have some problem on the microcontroller end, as Wireshark does not show anything but 0's in the ethercat packet data. Puzzling, as the lan9252 initializes successfully, which requires SPI to be working, and the EasyCAT library code is filling the buffer with non-zero values. May have to dig out the logic analyzer and look at the SPI mosi stream.

I see data going out the mosi pin to the lan9252 that looks reasonable, but on wireshark I only see 00 data in the LWR datagrams. The lan9252 initialized successfully, but it sure seems like it isn't transmitting the data in its buffer.

Finally got it working. The xml file had an error. The pdoEntry lines for the input pins need to have idx="6", not idx="5". The output lines are idx="5". Looks like a copy-paste mistake in the original xml file. I have certainly learned a bunch anyway.
