    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).
