# Version 1.4.0-rc1
|
||||
|
||||
* Realtime interface changes:
|
||||
- Replaced ec_slave_t with ec_slave_config_t, separating the bus
|
||||
- Realtime interface changes:
|
||||
- Replaced `ec_slave_t` with `ec_slave_config_t`, separating the bus
|
||||
configuration from the actual slaves. Therefore, renamed
|
||||
ecrt_master_get_slave() to ecrt_master_slave_config().
|
||||
`ecrt_master_get_slave()` to `ecrt_master_slave_config()`.
|
||||
- Replaced slave address string with alias and position values. See
|
||||
ecrt_master_slave_config().
|
||||
- Removed ecrt_master_get_slave_by_pos(), because it is no longer
|
||||
`ecrt_master_slave_config()`.
|
||||
- Removed `ecrt_master_get_slave_by_pos()`, because it is no longer
|
||||
necessary due to alias/position addressing.
|
||||
- Added ec_slave_config_state_t for the new method
|
||||
ecrt_slave_config_state().
|
||||
- Added `ec_slave_config_state_t` for the new method
|
||||
`ecrt_slave_config_state()`.
|
||||
- Process data memory for a domain can now be allocated externally. This
|
||||
offers the possibility to use a shared-memory region. Therefore,
|
||||
added the domain methods ecrt_domain_size() and
|
||||
ecrt_domain_external_memory().
|
||||
added the domain methods `ecrt_domain_size()` and
|
||||
`ecrt_domain_external_memory()`.
|
||||
- PDO entry registration functions do not return a process data pointer,
|
||||
but an offset in the domain's process data. In addition, an optional bit
|
||||
position can be requested. This was necessary for the external domain
|
||||
memory. An additional advantage is, that the returned offset is
|
||||
immediately valid. If the domain's process data is allocated internally,
|
||||
the start address can be retrieved with ecrt_domain_data().
|
||||
- Replaced ecrt_slave_pdo_mapping/add/clear() with
|
||||
ecrt_slave_config_pdo_assign_add() to add a PDO to a sync manager's PDO
|
||||
assignment and ecrt_slave_config_pdo_mapping_add() to add a PDO entry to a
|
||||
PDO's mapping. ecrt_slave_config_pdos() is a convenience function
|
||||
for both, that uses the new data types ec_pdo_info_t and
|
||||
ec_pdo_entry_info_t. PDO entries, that are mapped with these functions
|
||||
the start address can be retrieved with `ecrt_domain_data()`.
|
||||
- Replaced `ecrt_slave_pdo_mapping/add/clear()` with
|
||||
`ecrt_slave_config_pdo_assign_add()` to add a PDO to a sync manager's
|
||||
PDO assignment and `ecrt_slave_config_pdo_mapping_add()` to add a PDO
|
||||
entry to a PDO's mapping. `ecrt_slave_config_pdos()` is a convenience
|
||||
function for both, that uses the new data types `ec_pdo_info_t` and
|
||||
`ec_pdo_entry_info_t`. PDO entries, that are mapped with these functions
|
||||
can now immediately be registered, even if the bus is offline.
|
||||
- Renamed ec_bus_status_t, ec_master_status_t to ec_bus_state_t and
|
||||
ec_master_state_t, respectively. Renamed ecrt_master_get_status() to
|
||||
ecrt_master_state(), for consistency reasons.
|
||||
- Added ec_domain_state_t and ec_wc_state_t for a new output parameter
|
||||
of ecrt_domain_state(). The domain state object does now contain
|
||||
- Renamed `ec_bus_status_t`, `ec_master_status_t` to `ec_bus_state_t` and
|
||||
`ec_master_state_t`, respectively. Renamed `ecrt_master_get_status()` to
|
||||
`ecrt_master_state()`, for consistency reasons.
|
||||
- Added `ec_domain_state_t` and `ec_wc_state_t` for a new output parameter
|
||||
of `ecrt_domain_state()`. The domain state object does now contain
|
||||
information, if the process data was exchanged completely.
|
||||
- Former "PDO registration" meant PDO entry registration in fact, therefore
|
||||
renamed ec_pdo_reg_t to ec_pdo_entry_reg_t and ecrt_domain_register_pdo()
|
||||
to ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry().
|
||||
- Removed ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range(), because it's functionality can
|
||||
be reached by specifying an explicit PDO assignment/mapping and
|
||||
renamed `ec_pdo_reg_t` to `ec_pdo_entry_reg_t` and
|
||||
`ecrt_domain_register_pdo()` to `ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry()`.
|
||||
- Removed `ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range()`, because it's functionality
|
||||
can be reached by specifying an explicit PDO assignment/mapping and
|

registering the mapped PDO entries.
|
||||
- Added an SDO access interface, working with SDO requests. These can be
|
||||
scheduled for reading and writing during realtime operation.
|
||||
- Exported ecrt_slave_config_sdo(), the generic SDO configuration function.
|
||||
- Removed the bus_state and bus_tainted flags from ec_master_state_t.
|
||||

* Replaced the Sysfs interface with a new 'ethercat' command-line tool, that
|
||||
- Exported `ecrt_slave_config_sdo()`, the generic SDO configuration

|
||||
`ecrt_master_activate()`.
|
||||
- Renamed `ecdev_start()` and `ecdev_stop()` to `ecdev_open()` and
|
||||
`ecdev_close()`. These two functions now take a pointer to `ec_device_t`
|
||||
as their arguments.
|
||||
- The `data_ptr` parameter of `ecrt_domain_register_pdo()`,
|
||||
`ecrt_domain_register_pdo_list()` and `ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range()`
|
||||
may not be NULL any more.
|
||||
- Removed `ecrt_slave_pdo_size()`. This function was deprecated long before.
|
||||
- Introduced `ECRT_VERSION_MAGIC` macro and `ecrt_version_magic()` function.
|
||||
- Device interface changes:
|
||||
- `ec_isr_t` was replaced by `ec_pollfunc_t`, the device driver has to
|
||||
supply a poll function to call its ISR. This was introduced because some
|
||||
network drivers' interrupt functions have different arguments.
|
||||
- State machines now try to re-send datagrams on datagram timeout.
|
||||
- New option -c of the `lsec` script, displays slave current consumptions and
|
||||
remaining current.
|
||||
* Added frame counter in master info file.
|
||||
- Added frame counter in master info file.

# Version 1.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in version 1.1.1:
|
||||
|
||||
* State change FSM: Clearing of sync managers before PREOP.
|
||||
* Added modules_install make target.
|
||||
* Device modules for kernel 2.6.17.
|
||||
* SDO configurations available in Sysfs.
|
||||
* FMMU configurations cleared when going to INIT.
|
||||
* Slave-specific logs only at debug level 1 (for large buses).
|
||||
* Slave flags (error, online) available in Sysfs.
|
||||
* Acknowledging of spontaneous state changes in master FSMs.
|
||||
* ecrt_master_deactivate() deprecated.
|
||||
* Persistent slave lists. Slave structures are only regenerated on topology
