Hello Patrick,
First question, why do you use this outdated preempt rt kernel.
You can use 2.33.11-rt30, runs very nice.
I also had trouble using the generic driver under debian 6.0 (native
kernel) with a 8139too card. The card was not sending. May be it is same
problem.
Can you access any slave on the problematic host?
You use a fielbus coupler from wago like Beckhoff BKXXXX. That are
complex slaves.
Best Regards
Andreas

Dear all
Trying to set up an EtherCAT master on two different industrial PCs
(see details below), I'm facing the problem, that the slave's SII
can't be read on one system, while the other is just working fine
(proper initialisation and I/O transfer running).
Apart from the underlying IPC, the setup is identical:
- (only) bus slave: Wago buscoupler (750-354) with some digital output
modules
- EtherCAT master module: ec_generic (--enable-cycles --enable-hrtimer)
- EtherCAT master version: latest snapshot
- OS: Debian 6.0
- Linux kernel: 2.6.31.12-rt21 (PREEMPT RT) and 2.6.37.1 (PREEMPT) ->
same problem on both versions
Switching from one system to the other, only the disk and network
cable are swapped, and the controller's MAC address updated
accordingly in the configuration file.
IPC #1: (problematic) Intel Atom, 2x Intel 82574IT gigabit ethernet
controller (kernel module: e1000e)
IPC #2: (working) AMD GeodeLX, 2x Davicom DM9102 ethernet controller
(kernel module: dmfe, v1.36.4)
As the only difference between the two boards (from a software point
of view) is the ethernet controller, I'm suspecting a problem in
interfacing between the ec_generic module and the NIC's driver module.
Would that be possible at all?
The output of dmesg, ethercat master -v and slaves -v from the
problematic system is attached below.
Anybody an idea what could be wrong? Any help is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Patrick
