Hi,

i started playing around wiith patching the Odroid U3+ kernel and now i can run Etherlab with Matlab (R2011a ) code on it inspired by Thomas post. I describe my way to do this for Kernel 3.8.13.26-rt31 on the odroid (except the standard installation procedure)

Odroid:
standard installation of EtherLAB components (i choose the main folder /opt/etherlab )
EtherCAT Master:
./configure --enable-generic=yes --enable-8139too=no --libdir=/opt/etherlab/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
Add in  /etc/sysconfig/ethercat  --> DEVICE_MODULES="generic"

Matlab
copie once the folder from VM or PC to odroid --> /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a

Project:
After building the project:
only change in Makefile: PLATFORM_LIBDIR into “lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
then copie the project
I have the same folders on odroid an pc, so i only have to sync the folders (owncloud).
    --> /home/ubuntu/project/exec
    project-folder includes .mdl file
exec-folder is build path of matlab ( before building the proj go to "cd /home/ubuntu/project/exec" in matlab)

now build the project on odroid
--> cd /home/ubuntu/project/exec/[my-project]
--> make clean
--> make

./[my_project]

if this error appears, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is missing
error while loading shared libraries: libpdserv.so.2.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory --> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=D_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/


VM or PC:
i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS 3.2.63-rt92
all standard installation...

My Ethercat modules:

EL2004

        

EL1008

        

EL4024

        

EL3124

        

EL3068

        

EL5152

4xDout

        

8xDin

        

4x 4…20ma Out

        

4x 4…20ma In

        

8x 0…10V In

        

2 Kanal Enc



hopethis is helpfull!

Hello everyone,
this is a post for everyone trying to control a plant with Etherlab over a BeagleBone Black. I’ll just describe my approach and how it worked for me as an example. I am using an virtual machine (Linux ubuntu 3.13.0-32-generic) to make my Simulink model with additional Etherlab blocks and generate the C-code. After that, the model should be compiled and executed on the BBB (Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone47).
Virual Machine requirements:
Matlab/Simulink 2014a
Etherlab 2.1.0 development environment
Etherlab 2.1.0 runtime environment with PdServ and commoncpp2-1.8.1, log4cplus-1.1.3-rc2, yaml-0.1.5
EtherCAT-Master 1.5.2
BeagleBone Black requirements:
Etherlab 2.1.0 development environment
Etherlab 2.1.0 runtime environment with PdServ and commoncpp2-1.8.1, log4cplus-1.1.3-rc2, yaml-0.1.5
EtherCAT-Master 1.5.2
Etherlab installation:
I did the installation as directed (with default directory: /vol/opt/etherlab). Matlab 2014a should be installed (“/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a”) with Simulink and Simulink Coder. Moreover, gcc and cmake had to be downloaded from the repository for the BBB. On my virtual machine they where already available, I think.
--> Install etherlab-2.1.0 (cmake, make, make install)
To install PdServ there are three additional library dependecies: Log4cplus Library, CommonCpp2 Library and YAML Library, which can be downloaded as tarballs. Now unzip them and install (tar –xjf for .bz2/ tar –xf for .xz or .gz, ./configure, make, make install). On the BBB the installation of commoncpp2 was a little tricky, because I got an error saying: “applog.cpp: In constructor 'ost::logger::logger(const char*, bool)': applog.cpp:300:43: error: 'S_IREAD' was not declared in this scope applog.cpp:300:53: error: 'S_IWRITE' was not declared in this scope applog.cpp:300:61: error: 'mkfifo' was not declared in this scope” To fix that error I edited the file “/src/applog.cpp” and substituted every S_IREAD through S_IRUSR and S_IWRITE through S_IWUSR. Additionally, I added “#include <sys/stat.h>” on top of that file. (cf. http://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=commoncpp) Now I was able to install commoncpp2 (./configure, make, make install) and after that PdServ (cmake, make, make install).
EtherCAT-Master installation:
Again, I did the installation according to the instruction-pdf. Download the tarball and unzip (tar –xjf). The ./configure call has to be done with some special options, since Etherlab and EtherCAT-Master have to be installed into the same directory (/vol/opt/etherlab). Furthermore, library paths have to be the same as etherlab-library paths (see below the libdir option)
I configured it as follows:
virtual machine: ./configure --disable-8139too --prefix=/vol/opt/etherlab --libdir=/vol/opt/etherlab/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu BeagleBone: ./configure --disable-8139too --prefix=/vol/opt/etherlab --libdir=/vol/opt/etherlab/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf These options are important, as the default installation path of the EtherCAT-Master is “opt/etherlab” (not “/vol/opt/etherlab”) and the default lib-path of EtherCAT-Master is “/opt/etherlab/lib”. The last libdir directory is probably different for other systems, so just have a what your directory in “/vol/opt/etherlab/lib/” after the Etherlab installation is called. If there are missing “linux sources” for configuring I found a script generating the for BeagleBone Black: http://dumb-looks-free.blogspot.de/2014/06/beaglebone-black-bbb-kernal-headers.html Now you should be able to install the EtherCAT-Master (./configure ..., make, make install, make modules, make modules_install). To start the EtherCAT-Master just adapt “/vol/opt/etherlab/etc/sysconfig/ethercat” and copy it into the directory “/etc/sysconfig/” (I had to create /etc/sysconfig at first). Start it with ./ethercat start (in directory “/vol/opt/etherlab/etc/init.d/”). At this point you are able to create your simulink model with your virtual machine and generate c-code, saved in a directory called (MODEL)_etl_hrt. The following files are needed on the BBB to build an executable and can be transported via usb-stick (usb-stick appears in /media):

+        @\cp $(MODEL).mk $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/

+        @\cp rtw_proj.tmw $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/

+        @\cp *.h $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/

+        @\cp *.c $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/

+        @\cp Makefile $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////simulink/include//*.h 
$(MODEL)_etl_hrt/simulink/include/

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////extern/include//*.h 
$(MODEL)_etl_hrt/extern/include/

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////rtw/c/src//*.h $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/src/

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////rtw/c/src//*.c $(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/src/

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////rtw/c/tools/unixtools.mk 
$(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/tools//

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////rtw/c/src/ext_mode/common//*.h 
$(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/src/ext_mode/common

+        @\cp $(MATLAB_ROOT)////rtw/c/src/ext_mode/common//*.c 
$(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/src/ext_mode/common

Hints:
- (MODEL) must be exchanged with your model name, of course
- the Makefile is only a link to (MODEL).mk and has the same content.
- MATLAB_ROOT on the virtual machine was in my case “/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a” I saved these files on my BBB in “/home/debian/(MODEL)_etl_hrt/”. Afterwards I had to adapt the variable PLATFORM_LIBDIR into “lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf” inside the Makefile. I copied the file rtwtypes.h from “/home/debian/(MODEL)_etl_hrt” to “home/debian/(MODEL)_etl_hrt/rtw/c/src” and i copied all .h- and .c-files from “/home/debian/(MODEL)_etl_hrt” to “/vol/opt/etherlab/rtw/src”. Now it should be possible to create an executable with: “make MATLAB_ROOT=/home/debian/(MODEL)_etl_hrt ETHERLAB_DIR=/vol/opt/etherlab”
It normally appears in “/home/debian”.
If “error while loading shared libraries: libccext2-1.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” appears when executing, you have to call “ldconfig” to make shared libraries usable. This is how it worked for me and I hope it will help other users trying something similar.
Best regards,
Thomas
