[etherlab-users] ethercat on BBB/Rasperry

[Raz]

Hey Jean


There are the steps you need to take:
1.  compile and boot your own kernel.
2.  download the etherlab suite .
3.  configure the etherlab suite to use the pi toolchain. use the
ec_generic driver.
4.  copy the ethelab output to pi. this includes
ec_master.ko,ec_generic.ko, ethercat util, libethercat.

All of the above are for using etherlab ( ie, master ) on pi. to
launch qt on the pi you need to compile qt-embedded for pi. this is a
long task but it possible. take alook at:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/embedded-linux.html .

if you have more questions, like , "how do i do step X" email me back.
i will help you.

regards
raz
