[etherlab-users] Further comment regarding "No such device"

[Jeff Krasky]

Regarding the error I receive when executing the sample program:

#include <ecrt.h>
int main (void)
{
	ec_master_t * master = ecrt_request_master (0);
	if (! master )
		return 1; // error

	pause (); // wait for signal
	return 0;
}

"Failed to reserve master: No such device" is the output I receive.  I just
executed the command 'ethercat master' and here is the result:

dhcppc0:~ # ethercat master
Master0
  Phase: Waiting for device...
  Active: no
  Slaves: 0

                      2000-01-01 00:00:00.000000000

Could the issue be that I have no slave connected?  The Ethernet cable is
simply running to the router.

Thanks,
