unbundle of CCAT on Debian Jessie #4

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I am trying to get my Beckhoff CX2030 with Debian Jessie running using CCAT modules. Here is my process for acquiring Etherlab and CCAT.

The problem arises when I try to unbundle the etherlab.bundle

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/etherlabmaster/code ethercat-hg cd ethercat-hg hg update stable-1.5

wget https://github.com/Beckhoff/CCAT/blob/master/etherlab.bundle hg unbundle etherlab.bundle

The error I receive is: abort: etherlab.bundle: unknown bundle version 20

Do you know what might cause this, or how to solve?

try: wget https://github.com/Beckhoff/CCAT/raw/master/etherlab.bundle The downloaded file should be 867 bytes in size. However that bundle does only contain a patch [1] for kernel 4.10, so if you use an older kernel, you don't even need the bundle.

That makes more sense! As you stated, I got it working without the patch.

My version of Mercurial in Debian was too old, and it wouldn't let me unbundle. The version available for Jessie has a backport.

To enable: echo deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list

apt-get update

Then upgrade Mercurial: apt-get -t jessie-backports install mercurial
