[etherlab-users] Slave did not sync after 5000 ms

Hi there,

me again. I think I find the answer: It is related to the Macro
EC_SYSTEM_TIME_TOLERANCE_NS in fsm_master.c. Using the configure option
--enable-cycles before compiling the master seems to be the simplest way to
resolve my problem.

Have a nice day,
Jun
