Mohre. fp@1372: fp@1372: Future issues: fp@1372: fp@1372: * Segmented SDO downloads. fp@1322: * External memory for SDO transfers. fp@1327: * Bus information via userspace library (slaves, sync managers, PDOs, entries). fp@1322: * C++ implementation of the library. fp@1322: * Bus simulator interface. fp@984: * Move master threads, slave handlers and state machines into a user fp@984: space daemon. fp@1185: * Allow master requesting when in ORPHANED phase fp@952: * Mailbox protocol handlers. fp@952: * Mailbox state machine using toggle bits. fp@831: * Mailbox gateway. fp@952: * Separate CoE debugging. fp@952: * Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing. fp@952: * Optimize alignment of process data. fp@776: * Redundancy with 2 network adapters. fp@776: * Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO. fp@1119: * Make scanning and configuration run parallel (each). fp@1165: * ethercat tool: fp@1165: - Data type abbreviations. fp@1165: - Add a -n (numeric) switch. fp@1166: - Check for unwanted options. fp@1278: * Simplify master fsm by introducing a common request state to handle external fp@1221: requests (replace write_sii, sdo_request, etc). fp@776: fp@776: Smaller issues: fp@776: fp@1136: * Stop master thread at ecrt_master_request() to get rid of allow_* flags? fp@776: * Clear sync managers in INIT. fp@776: * Read out CRC counters. fp@776: * Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection. fp@776: * Only execute one EoE handler per EoE cycle. fp@1119: * Fix datagram errors on application loading/unloading. fp@776: fp@776: Less important issues: fp@776: fp@776: * Allow VLAN tagging. fp@776: * Determine number of frames, the NIC can handle. fp@351: fp@271: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
