Installation
============

1) Create a copy of the configuration template:

  $ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf

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

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

  $ make

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

  # make install

  This will create the following files and directories:
    - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)
    - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)
    - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)

  The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net.
