Ethercat Master 1.6 and network device compatibility #129

Open AltinayGrass opened 2 weeks ago

AltinayGrass commented 2 weeks ago

Hello, I would like share some information, I tested with igh master stable-1.6 it is OK. Also I would like to learn device compatibility on docker solution. Is it possible use igc network device rather than generic? If yes, should we configure with --enable-igc option?

Here is some part of the Dockerfile

  RUN mkdir ec_dev && cd ec_dev && \

  git clone https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat.git && \

  cd ethercat && \

  git checkout stable-1.5 && \

  ./bootstrap && \

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etherlab --disable-kernel && \

  make && make install

Hi, Thanks for reporting the tests with stable-1.6. I did not test the igc network device. As soon as I can test it, I will post report here.
