|

|
Version 1.4.0:
|
|
|
|
* Replace all Sysfs files via the new ethercat tool.
|
|
* Remove the end state of the master state machine.
|
|
* Supply new ec_master_state_t.
|
|
* Implement ecrt_slave_config_state().
|
|
* Make ecrt_master_slave_config() return no error when slave is not present
|
|
or invalid.
|
|
* Remove get_cycles() calls and references to cpu_khz to increase
|
|
portability.
|
|
* Adapt remaining examples.
|
|
* READMEs for examples.
|
|
* Update documentation.
|
|
* Check for data sizes when reading mapping.
|
|
|
|
* SDO write access.
|
|
* Wait for bus scanning, even when link is not up at ecrt_request_master().
|
|
* Attach Pdo names.
|
|
* Mailbox protocol handlers.
|
|
* Mailbox state machine using toggle bits.
|
|
* Make scanning and configuration run parallel (each).
|
|
* Implement realtime interface via cdev.
|
|
* Add something like lsec -n to show numeric vendor IDs.
|
|
* Separate CoE debugging.
|
|
* Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing.
|
|
* Optimize alignment of process data.
|
|
|
|
Future issues:
|
|
|
|
* Distributed clocks.
|
|
* Move slave handlers and state machines, etc. into a user space daemon (move
|
|
kernel threads to user space daemon with a TCP interface replacing the
|
|
cdev).
|
|
* Mailbox gateway.
|
|
* Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
|
|
* Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO.
|
|
|
|
Smaller issues:
|
|
|
|
* Evaluate SII Size field (0x003E) to determine maximum SII memory size.
|
|
* Unite fsm_pdo_mapping, fsm_pdo_config and fsm_coe_map.
|
|
* Clear sync managers in INIT.
|
|
* Read out CRC counters.
|
|
* Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection.
|
|
* Only execute one EoE handler per EoE cycle.
|
|
|
|
Less important issues:
|
|
|
|
* File access over EtherCAT (FoE).
|
|
* Allow VLAN tagging.
|
|
* Determine number of frames, the NIC can handle.
