I don't use the EtherLAB suite. There could be an issue if it requests the master and its internal loop doesn't "send_ext". Actually ecrt_master_send_ext isn't exported by cdev so that could indeed be a problem.<br>
Can you try starting the master only?<br>

I have an EL6614, besides starting the master (stable-1.5), configuring<br>
the network interface and bringing it up, nothing else is needed to get<br>
EOE connectivity.<br>

Ok, so I made some progress, I think. I was able to build as a kernel<br>
module and install the module. So long as the virtual interface (eoe0s7)<br>
is not up, the program brings the network into Operation and scans at<br>
100Hz.<br>
<br>
Then, I issue # ifconfig eoe0s7 up<br>
<br>
About 20 seconds later, the entire system hangs and I need to reboot.<br>
<br>
In the kernel log, I am seeing this: BUG: scheduling while atomic:<br>
swapper/0/0x10000100<br>
<br>
My understanding is that occurred when using semaphores when spinlocks<br>
should have been used in the master callbacks. I changed over the<br>
program to spin locks, but the same thing occurred.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what I could try other than falling back to 1.4.0 and<br>
seeing if I'm just running into a stable-1.5 bug. I'm following the tty<br>
examples in the directory very closely. Beyond changing the hardware<br>
declarations to match the network, it's the same program.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have an EoE example they could share?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Hello Thomas,<br>
<br>
it might be a simple network config problem: the IP address of your<br>
virtual interface shouldn't be the same as your field device. Try<br>
assigning it something different on the same subnet, e.g.<br>
<a href="http://192.168.127.1/8" target="_blank">192.168.127.1/8</a> <<a href="http://192.168.127.1/8" target="_blank">http://192.168.127.1/8</a>> and check your routing<br>
table is correct<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

Hello! I'm new to using EtherLAB. I've got the master<br>
installed as a<br>
service, and it's communicating to the network fine. However,<br>
I'm having<br>
trouble getting the EoE feature up and running.<br>
<br>
I have an Ethernet device in the field with the IP Address<br>
192.168.127.254 that I need to communicate with through a web<br>
browser. I<br>
have an EL6601 that the master is able to see fine. When I put<br>
the<br>
network into Operation, the RUN light goes steady.<br>
<br>
I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04. I have not installed any real-time<br>
extensions; I'm just working with EtherLAB right now.<br>
<br>
If I execute:<br>
# ethercat eoe<br>
<br>
I get a listing for eoe0s7 as a virtual interface, and that it<br>
is down.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, I created in /etc/network the file ifcg-eoe0s7 with the<br>
following<br>
contents:<br>
<br>
IPADDRESS=<a href="http://192.168.127.254/8" target="_blank">192.168.127.254/8</a> <<a href="http://192.168.127.254/8" target="_blank">http://192.168.127.254/8</a>><br>
<<a href="http://192.168.127.254/8" target="_blank">http://192.168.127.254/8</a>><br>
STARTMODE=auto<br>
<br>
I restarted the computer.<br>
<br>
To raise the interface, I enter:<br>
<br>
# ifconfig eoe0s7 up<br>
<br>
The virtual interface goes up, and the LINK light on the<br>
EL6601 goes<br>
solid green.<br>
<br>
However, I'm unable to ping 192.168.127.254, or get the pages it<br>
serves<br>
to pop up. So, I did more reading, and I think I need to do some<br>
function calls in the program. So, I added to my test program:<br>
<br>
<br>
void send_callback(void *cb_data)<br>
{<br>
ec_master_t *m = (ec_master_t *) cb_data;<br>
sem_wait(&mutex);<br>
ecrt_master_send_ext(m);<br>
sem_post(&mutex);<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
/*****************************<u></u>__****************************<u></u>**__******************/<br>
<br>
<br>
void receive_callback(void *cb_data)<br>
{<br>
ec_master_t *m = (ec_master_t *) cb_data;<br>
sem_wait(&mutex);<br>
ecrt_master_receive(m);<br>
sem_post(&mutex);<br>
}<br>
<br>
int<br>
main(int argc, char **argv)<br>
{<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
// setup callbacks for EoE<br>
ecrt_master_callbacks(master, send_callback,<br>
receive_callback, master);<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, it won't build:<br>
<br>
durability.o: In function `send_callback':<br>
/home/tbj/srcroot/durability/_<u></u>_src/durability.c:279: undefined<br>
reference<br>
to `ecrt_master_send_ext'<br>
durability.o: In function `main':<br>
/home/tbj/srcroot/durability/_<u></u>_src/durability.c:321: undefined<br>
reference<br>
to `ecrt_master_callbacks'<br>
<br>
<br>
This is my makefile:<br>
<br>
CC = gcc<br>
ETHERCAT_TOPDIR = /home/tbj/srcroot/ethercat<br>
CFLAGS = -I$(ETHERCAT_TOPDIR)/include -g -O2<br>
LDFLAGS = -L$(ETHERCAT_TOPDIR)/lib/.libs -lethercat -lrt<br>
<br>
OBJECTS = durability.o<br>
<br>
durability.exe : $(OBJECTS)<br>
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS) -o durability.exe<br>
<br>
%.o : %.c<br>
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<<br>
<br>
<br>
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I feel like I'm one step<br>
away from<br>
having this working, but I can't find anything else in any<br>
documentation<br>
that would lead me to the answer.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help.<br>
<br>
T<br>
