Contents:
This is an open-source EtherCAT master implementation for Linux 2.6 or newer. This repository was forked from https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat to provide specific support for Renesas RZ products, including custom patches and configurations.
See the features file for a list of features. For more information, see https://etherlab.org/ethercat.
The PDF documentation is generated via LaTeX and can be build with the following steps:
cd documentation
makeThe PDF is automatically held up-to-date and can be downloaded from GitLab.
To generate the Doxygen documentation, the following commands can be used. Therefore, the configure script must have run (see the install file).
git submodule update --init
make docAn up-to-date Doxygen output can be found on docs.etherlab.org.
Configured sources for the Linux 2.6 (or newer) kernel are required to build the EtherCAT master.
A table of supported hardware can be found at: https://docs.etherlab.org/ethercat/1.6/doxygen/devicedrivers.html
See the install file.
A limited set of the userspace API is available in libfakeethercat,
a library which can be used to run an userspace application
without an EtherCAT master or with emulated EtherCAT slaves.
