Hi thank you for visiting the wiki, and have fun using this Linux Debian Buster 10 distro.

If you are planning to install the live-image-amd64.hybrid.iso on a pc, you might want to read this :

During installation keep the root name + pw empty ! Only use the user name + pw.
You can connect your Ethercat EK1100 trough a cat4 cable to your pc. You can use mobile usb tethering to setup your download mirror during install.
It is also possible to connect your Ethercat EK1100 after installation and use the default internet connection to your pc.

If you want to reproduce your own linux distro take a look in the iso at $ /usr/share/iso/setup_iso.sh
This script wil create a new iso in $ /usr/share/iso/skynet/ with filename "live-image-amd64.hybrid.iso"
This process will take a while. And internet connection is required to download the dependencies.
If you want to update or change the used kernel, change the kernel names in the setup_iso.sh file at multiple places.
For available kernels, check : https://packages.debian.org/buster/kernel/

When running this Linux distro you can pay attention to the following dir's :
/usr/share/iso/ -> here lives the plan to reproduce the linux distro based on a live-build script.
/usr/local/include/ -> here lives the installed software from the installed file : skynet_soft-1.0.tar.gz
/usr/share/applications/ -> here lives all the program launchers

After starting the distro you might want to set the power saving to "off". Menu -> Settings -> Power Manager -> Display ..
Or in terminal : $ xfce4-power-manager --customize

Important support after installing : skynet_soft-1.0.tar.gz:
Ethercat HG realtime bus, linuxcnc ethercat library
C++ Opencascade cad library
C++ Kdl kinematics library

Then you are capable of writing software like this project : https://github.com/grotius-cnc/Skynet_Robot_Control_Rtos_Ethercat/releases
