[etherlab-users] ethercat on BBB/Rasperry

[Raz]

It seems that i failed to clearify enough that eclave may work as a user
space exe, not just as driver. The driver is for performance matters.
i suggest you boot some linux, like fedora or ubunto and:
$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ecslave/code ecslave
$ cd ecslave
$ autoreconf
$ automake --add-missing
$ sh ./configure
$ make
the output would be ecslave binary that can executed on you pc.
$ ./ec_slave< rx interface> < tx interface>
now cross-wire an ethercat master to your pc and then execute:
$ ./ec_slave eth1 --> if eth1 is the interface you connected .

you can also piggy back another pc/pi with eclave so that you have
several ecslaves.

to compile for pi  i would suggest you compile in pi itself, as you
pcap.h and this file is
part of libcap-dev and it would easier to apt-get it in pi then add it
to the build environment ( aka toolchain ) of pi.

Also, if you guys want , i can upload to a dropbox the binaries to pi.
you can also
compile ecslave for arduino if you want.

raz
