[etherlab-users] Etherlab example mini module

[Philipp Monden]

Hi,

I tried to run "make" in /examples/mini which tells me:

*** Warning: "ecrt_master_create_domain"
[/opt/etherlab/src/ethercat-1.2.0/examp
les/mini/ec_mini.ko] undefined!

... and all other ecrt_X functions are not found as well. Is that normal?
insmod fails with

"-1 Operation not permitted".

with the following syslog messages:
Jul 11 13:16:50 dancer EtherCAT: Link state changed to UP.
Jul 11 13:16:50 dancer EtherCAT: 1 slave responding.

..nothing happens until I disconnect the slave..

I am not sure how to find out the PDO index and subindex, it is not
listed in /sys/ethercat0/slave000/*, I also cannot find it in the
slave documentation.

Is it possible that non-Beckhoff slaves are not compatible with
Etherlab at all? do I just have to find the correct PDO index? or is
something else wrong?

I am using a chip called netX from hilscher (www.hilscher.com). It is
working correctly when I connect it to a TwinCAT Master (the EtherCAT
software from Beckhoff).

Thanks for any help,
Philipp Monden
