[Etherlab-users] ethercat with debian 11 and kernel 5.10.0-17-amd64

[BUSSIERES Vincent]

Dear Andreas,

I’m sorry for not having answered you sooner, I just installed your DKMS ethercat-packages on Debian Bullseye.
No problem with installation, but I’d like to use “r8169” or “e1000e” ethercat driver modules instead of “generic” one.

Could you tell me if it is possible to build ec_r8169 or ec_e1000e modules ?

You can see below the status of ethercat  daemon when it is started:

● ethercat.service - EtherCAT Master Kernel Modules

Dear Vincent,

I work with Debian Bullseye since a long time. RT or non-RT kernel makes no different.
I use my own DKMS ethercat-packages from the Buildservice Repo https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bone11111:branches:science:EtherLab.<https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bone11111:branches:science:EtherLab>
The packages are up to date and build based on the stable-1.5.2 tree.
Generic and CCAT driver are included.

You only have to install the kernel-image and the kernel-header package
Actually tested up to kernel 5.10 without problem
In Debian a RT-kernel up to 5.15 is available but actually not tested.

Best regards

Andreas

Dear Etherlab users,

I used to develop Ethercat applications on debian 10 (kernel 4.19) with Gavin’s patch.
Now, I must work on debian bullseye, I’d like to know if EtherCAT master is able to run on bullseye ?

I have downloaded  the last current version on GitLab and succeded to compile it with generic driver, but build failed with kernel driver.
Documentation says that master has been designed as a kernel module for Linux 2.6 / 3.x.
I saw on the Internet that someone had managed to compile on recent kernel 5 :https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat/-/issues/1

Does anybody test this unsupported version ? Is is stable ?

Thanks

Regards
