[etherlab-users] install on non-PC

[Henry Bausley]

The short answer to your question is yes.  You should look at your PC
version and familiarize with the installation.   

For example

 /lib/modules/2.6.xx.x  

The tool ethercat goes in /usr/bin 

The configuration usually goes to /opt/etherlab

Once you study the PC installation it will be no big deal to put it on
your custom board.
