Nicola Fontana 6e8c371c42 Do not include AC_CONFIG_FILES in BUILT_SOURCES BUILT_SOURCES is used to trigger early generation of files in the `make` process to workaround dependency problems: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Sources.html AC_CONFIG_FILES are generated by `configure`, so they are already present in the file system even before `make` is called. Furthermore, AC_CONFIG_FILES already properly handle dist and clean targets, so no need to add them to EXTRA_DIST or DISTCLEANFILES: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Requirements.html		2021-08-24 17:32:32 +02:00

Virtual TTY interface driver for EtherCAT slave supporting serial comm

Quick installation guide:

./configure --with-linux-dir=/your/linux/directory --enable-tty
make all modules
make modules_install install
rcethercat start
insmod tty/ec_tty.ko
insmod examples/tty/ec_tty_example.ko

The default settings for the serial line are 9600 8 N 1.

The tty example operates a Beckhoff EL6002 at ring position 1. For a short
test, connect port X1 with a serial port via null modem cable. If a minicom is
started on that port and the below command is entered, the output should be
visible in minicom:

echo "Hello World" > /dev/ttyEC0

Have a lot of fun!
