Version 1.5.0:
|
|
|
|
* Remove ecrt_domain_state().
|
|
* Segmented SDO downloads.
|
|
* Implement SDO handlers in userspace library.
|
|
* Clear slave list on link down.
|
|
* Check force_config flag before error.
|
|
* Remove allow_scanning flag.
|
|
* File access over EtherCAT (FoE).
|
|
* Improve application-triggered SDO transfers by moving the statemachine into
|
|
the SDO handlers.
|
|
* External memory for SDO transfers.
|
|
* Bus information via userspace library (slaves, sync managers, PDOs, entries).
|
|
* C++ implementation of the library.
|
|
* Distributed clocks.
|
|
* Bus simulator interface.
|
|
|
|
Future issues:
|
|
|
|
* Move master threads, slave handlers and state machines into a user
|
|
space daemon.
|
|
* Allow master requesting when in ORPHANED phase
|
|
* Mailbox protocol handlers.
|
|
* Mailbox state machine using toggle bits.
|
|
* Mailbox gateway.
|
|
* Separate CoE debugging.
|
|
* Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing.
|
|
* Optimize alignment of process data.
|
|
* Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
|
|
* Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO.
|
|
* Make scanning and configuration run parallel (each).
|
|
* ethercat tool:
|
|
- Data type abbreviations.
|
|
- Add a -n (numeric) switch.
|
|
- Check for unwanted options.
|
|
* Simplify master fsm by introducing a common request state to handle external
|
|
requests (replace write_sii, sdo_request, etc).
|
|
|
|
Smaller issues:
|
|
|
|
* Stop master thread at ecrt_master_request() to get rid of allow_* flags?
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Fix datagram errors on application loading/unloading.
|
|
|
|
Less important issues:
|
|
|
|
* Allow VLAN tagging.
|
|
* Determine number of frames, the NIC can handle.
