Strangely, this index and subindex does exist in a slave that is online
and I have previously called ecrt_slave_config_pdos() according to the
slaves current SM layout. I've compared my code to that generated by
"ethercat cstruct" and it is the same.

This either requires a slave to already be present in the network and scanned
with that PDO already included in its default PDO set, or it requires you to
have previously called ecrt_slave_config_pdos() with the slave's
current/desired SM layout.
It's recommended to do the latter, as it also works when the slaves are not yet
online -- and it gives you the ability to select PDOs which are not in the
slave's default set. Although of course some slaves have restrictions on which
PDOs you can select together, and others do not let you change the default PDO
set -- but you can still explicitly specify it via ecrt_slave_config_pdos() so
that you can create a configuration without needing the slaves to be online.
See the example apps. Also see the code generated by "ethercat cstruct".

Subject: [etherlab-users] ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry() returns "No such file or
directory"
I'm working a new userspace app with etherlab and have managed to discover
slaves and configure PDO's and am now at the point of doing mass registrations
of PDO's.
In domain.c is the ecrt_domain_reg_pdo_entry_list() function which iterates
through an array of ec_pdo_entry_reg_t's. As it iterates through the array, the
call stack is roughly ...
ecrt_domain_reg_pdo_entry_list()
ecrt_master_slave_config()
ec_master_add_slave_config()
ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry()
ioctl()
The first of seven ec_pdo_entry_reg_t objects in the array was successful.
However, on the second iteration of the input array, the result (errno) from
the call to ioctl() in
ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry() of slave_config.c is failing with "No such file or
directory".
I've triple checked the inputs which appear to be correct, but recall reading
somewhere's that there may be checks to the capabilities of
ioctl() calls handling a device which I'm not clear on. I was hoping someone
might be able to comment or explain if this is the case or have other ideas as
to what might be going on?
The exact message is:
"Failed to register PDO entry: No such file or directory"
