[Etherlab-users] Ynt: IGC driver with kernel 6.4 issue

[Celil Can Anık]

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for missing info. I am already using actual stable-1.5, which is downloaded from Gitlab repo stable-1.5 branch.

Best  regards,
Celil

Hi,

try to use the actual stable-1.5 from igh. IGC for 6.4 is integrated.

Best regards

Hi all,



I was running Ethercat master with Gavin’s patchset older hardware with R8169 driver with Preempt RT. But new hardware is using I225 (Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-LM (rev 03)), igc driver, and newer kernel with Ubuntu 22.04. Unfortunately, I am unable to run with igc driver with Kernel 6.4. But, generic driver works. I tried to compile my RT kernel and Ethercat master a few times with different configurations, but no luck. I slightly suspect there might be an issue with this new driver patch.Any help you can give would be appreciated.



Here is my dmesg log. (Driver looks like loaded ?)



[ 8167.603308] EtherCAT: Master module cleaned up.

[ 8169.698759] EtherCAT: Master driver 1.5.2 unknown

[ 8169.699063] EtherCAT: 1 master waiting for devices.

[ 8169.743069] Intel(R) 2.5G Ethernet Linux Driver (EtherCAT enabled)



When I select igc driver from /etc/sysconfig/ethercat, master is not works. But with generic driver it finds my Ethernet chip. No slaves connected.

Also you can check “lsmod” data for both generic and igc here:https://pastes.io/jordbvtiuq
