    10

==========================

    11

    12

1) Create a copy of the configuration template:

    13

    14

  $ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf

    15

    16

2) Adjust the variables in the configuration file to your needs.

    17

    18

3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:

    19

    20

  $ make

    21

    22

4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):

    23

    24

  # make install

    25

    26

  This will create the following files and directories:

    27

    - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)

    28

    - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)

    29

    - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)

    30

    31

  The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/kernel/drivers/net

    32

  (where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).
