IGH EtherCAT :About Compiling.

san1998 — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 10:07:55 GMT

Is there a Ubuntu22.04 static library, libethercat.a?

The Igh EtherCAT Master source code provided by ECI cannot be compiled and installed, can you provide a static library or tell the way to compile successfully.

Thanks.

Hi san1998,

Thanks for reaching out, have you tried to install the IgH EtherCAT Master Stack from the Edge Controls for Industrial APT repository? You can find more information in the following documentation.

https://eci.intel.com/docs/3.0.2/components/ethercat.html?highlight=ethercat#install-igh-ethercat-master-stack

If you would still like to build from source, could you please let me know which version of ECI you are using and what documentation/steps you followed? Thanks.

Regards,

Jesus

I have installed the IgH EtherCAT Master Stack from the Edge Controls for Industrial APT repository. ECI version is 3.0.2.

After install IgH EtherCAT Master, I have successfully started the master and connected the servos. And I need to compile the program with a static library-libethercat.a, But ECI build in /usr/src/ighethercat-dkms-1.5.2 cannot compile and generate a static library.

Enter sudo make after entering sudo ./configure，something went wrong.

sjw@sjw-virtual-machine:/usr/src/ighethercat-dkms-1.5.2$ sudo make
make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile.am', needed by 'Makefile.in'. Stop.

Thanks!

Hi san1998,

Apologies for the delay, I've been exploring building the EtherCAT static library with this software package. I believe only the library is provided, to build the static library you will need to clone the open-sourced repository and build from source. However, let me reach out to the development team and confirm if this is accurate.

Regards,

Jesus

Hi,

Step 1) download ECI source by follow this guide. https://eci.intel.com/docs/3.0.2/getstarted/download_eci.html

Step 2) Build ECI package using manual method. https://eci.intel.com/docs/3.0.2/development/eci_build_engine.html#step-4-start-a-bitbake-environment

*save the manual build command later can start bitbake environment to build igh package

Step 3) You can obtain igh package in build/eci-packages-jammy/tmp/work/eci-jammy-amd64/ighethercat/1.5.2-3/ethercat-1.5.2/
