Hi experts,

Our customer use SSC to generate the file and meet the issue of creating slave file failed

Here is the configuration:

1. Download `dos2unix`, `patch`, and `unix2dos`, and copy them to the following folder:

2. Extract the `SlaveFiles` located under `SSC_V5i3`:

3. Copy the files from the `SlaveFiles` folder to the following path:

4. Open the Beckhoff SSC tool and click **Import**:

5. Select the configuration file located in the following folder:

6. Locate the AM261X chip under **custom** and select it:

7. Select **Project** and click **Create new Slave Files**:

8. Select the folder where the stack code should be saved, then click **Start**:

9. A failure message appears, and no stack code is generated in the folder.

Hi Leo,

From the last image, it looks like the SSC tool failed to apply the patch.

Make sure you're following Using Beckhoff SSC Tool section in AM261x INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATIONS SDK: EtherCAT SubDevice Beckhoff SSC Demo - Steps to Run the Example.

To rule out any issue with the patching of TI_ECAT.patch by SSC Tool, can you try removing the "Patch" section in TI_ESC_8i3.xml file (try with the following SSC config file):

An additional query, how are you generating the stack sources shown in 3rd image?

Hi Aaron,

The stack sources shown in the third image come from the `SlaveFiles.zip` file seen in the second image; `SlaveFiles.zip` originates from the SSC installation package.

And the customer feedback that he follow instructions in AM261x INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATIONS SDK: EtherCAT SubDevice Beckhoff SSC Demo - Steps to Run the Example. and still meet the create slave file failed issue

Thanks
