Changes in version 1.3.0:

     8

     9

* Added Intel e100 ethernet driver.

    10

* Removed "ec_eoeif_count" master module parameter.

    11

* Introduced "device IDs" to tell a master to wait for certain ethernet

    12

  devices.

    13

* Added "main" and "backup" parameters to master module. To hand over

    14

  device ID lists.

    15

* Changed format of sysconfig file and accordingly adjusted functionality

    16

  of the init script to handle device IDs.

    17

* Device interface changes:

    18

  - Replaced ecdev_register() and ecdev_unregister() with ecdev_offer() and

    19

    ecdev_withdraw(), respectively. The device modules now offer all their

    20

    devices to the master, which decides, which ones to register.

    21

* Removed EtherCAT line comments from 8139too drivers.

Changes in version 1.2.0:

    26

    27

* Serveral fixes of bugs and stability issues. Master should now run fine

    28

  with kernels 2.6.17 to 2.6.19.

    29

* Realtime interface changes:

    30

  - Re-introduced ecrt_domain_queue() to allow datagram queuing apart

    31

    from datagram processing. The queuing of a domain's datagrams is not

    32

    done in ecrt_domain_process() any more!

    33

  - Removed ecrt_master_deactivate(). Its functionality was moved into

    34

    ecrt_master_release().

    35

  - Removed ecrt_master_prepare(). Its functionality was moved into

    36

    ecrt_master_activate().

    37

  - Renamed ecdev_start() and ecdev_stop() to ecdev_open() and ecdev_close().

    38

    These two functions now take a pointer to ec_device_t as their arguments.

    39

  - The data_ptr parameter of ecrt_domain_register_pdo(),

    40

    ecrt_domain_register_pdo_list() and ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range() may

    41

    not be NULL any more.

    42

  - Removed ecrt_slave_pdo_size(). This function was deprecated long before.

    43

  - Introduced ECRT_VERSION_MAGIC macro and ecrt_version_magic() function.

    44

* Device interface changes:

    45

  - ec_isr_t was replaced by ec_pollfunc_t, the device driver has to supply

    46

    a poll function to call its ISR. This was introduced because some network

    47

    drivers' interrupt functions have different arguments.

    48

* State machines now try to re-send datagrams on datagram timeout.

    49

* New option -c of the lsec script, displays slave current consumptions and

    50

  remaining current.

    51

* Added frame counter in master info file.

    55

Changes in version 1.1.1:

    56

    57

* State change FSM: Clearing of sync managers before PREOP.

    58

* Added modules_install make target.

    59

* Device modules for kernel 2.6.17.

    60

* SDO configurations available in Sysfs.

    61

* FMMU configurations cleared when going to INIT.

    62

* Slave-specific logs only at debug level 1 (for large busses).

    63

* Slave flags (error, online) available in Sysfs.

    64

* Acknowledging of spontaneous state changes in master FSMs.

    65

* ecrt_master_deactivate() deprecated.

    66

* Persistent slave lists. Slave structures are only regenerated on topology

    67

  change in IDLE mode.

    68

* SDO reading via Sysfs.

    69

* Added ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range()

    70

* Fetching of SDO dictionary.

    71

* Better timing behaviour when starting up under high CPU load.

    72

* Applied Autotools.

    73

* Improved output of lsec.

    74

* SDO download state machine.
