|
|
|
|
* Issues for release 1.3.0:
|
|
- Take broadcast MAC address to register the first ethernet device.
|
|
|
|
* Future features:
|
|
- Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO.
|
|
- Distributed clocks.
|
|
- Dynamic PDO mapping from SDO dictionary (see can-cia.org: cia301ds4).
|
|
- Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
|
|
- Mailbox handler
|
|
- Support slaves, that don't support the LRW datagram, only LRD/LWR.
|
|
|
|
* Smaller issues:
|
|
- Clear sync managers in INIT.
|
|
- Simplify FSMs with <state>_enter() functions.
|
|
- Output intermediate results during lsec.
|
|
- State change FSM: Follow spontaneous state changes.
|
|
- Read out CRC counters.
|
|
- Calculate expected working counter for domains.
|
|
- Optimize alignment of process data.
|
|
- Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing.
|
|
- SDO write access in sysfs.
|
|
- Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection.
|
|
- Calculate cycle time of operation state machine.
|
|
- Locking for serveral slave variables for sysfs access.
|
|
- Interrupt master state machines state scan for other jobs.
|
|
- Master state machine, slave configuration: Do not check every slave on
|
|
a cycle.
|
|
- Do only execute one EoE handler per EoE cycle.
|
|
|
|
* Less important issues:
|
|
- Implement all EtherCAT datagram types.
|
|
- File access over EtherCAT (FoE).
|
|
- Allow VLAN tagging.
|
|
- Determine number of frames the NIC can handle.
