fp@1950: Future issues:
fp@1950: 
fp@2307: * Fix link detection in generic driver.
fp@1950: * Remove allow_scanning flag.
fp@1950: * Check for Enable SDO Complete Access flag.
fp@1950: * Do not output 'SDO does not exist' when querying data type.
fp@1874: * recompile tool/CommandVersion.cpp if revision changes.
fp@1876: * Log SoE IDNs with real name ([SP]-x-yyyy).
fp@1936: * Only output watchdog config if not default.
fp@1950: * Implement CompleteAccess for SDO uploads.
fp@1950: * Output warning when send_ext() is called in illegal context.
fp@1950: * Change SDO index at runtime for SDO request.
fp@1770: * Implement ecrt_slave_config_request_state().
fp@1770: * Remove default buffer size in SDO upload.
fp@1770: * Override sync manager size?
fp@1770: * Show Record / Array / List type of SDOs.
fp@1392: * Distributed clocks:
fp@1427:     - Use vendor correction factors when calculating transmission delays.
fp@1450:     - Skip setting system time offset when application detached.
fp@1462:     - How to use the SYNC1 shift time?
fp@1450:     - Do not output graph, if topology calculation failed.
fp@1459:     - Set the "Cyclic Generation Start Time" based on the slave's
fp@1459:       "System Time" register instead of using the application time.
fp@1459:     - Check if register 0x0980 is working, to avoid clearing it when
fp@1459:       configuring.
fp@1564: * Mailbox protocol handlers.
fp@1564: * Mailbox state machine using toggle bits.
fp@1322: * External memory for SDO transfers.
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@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:     - Add a -n (numeric) switch.
fp@1166: 	- Check for unwanted options.
fp@1887:     - Fix number of digits in negative integer hex output.
fp@1950:     - Data type abbreviations.
fp@1950:     - Add -x switch for hex display.
fp@1950:     - Implement --output-file argument in foe_read.
fp@1950:     - Implement indent in 'ethercat ma'
fp@1950:     - Implement 0xXXXX:YY format for specifying SDOs.
fp@1950:     - Implement reading from stream for soe_write.
fp@1977:     - Output error after usage.
fp@1278: * Simplify master fsm by introducing a common request state to handle external
fp@1221:   requests (replace write_sii, sdo_request, etc).
fp@1977: * Fix bus scan hang when calling ecrt_master_deactivate().
fp@776: 
fp@776: Smaller issues:
fp@776: 
fp@776: * Read out CRC counters.
fp@776: * Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection.
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.
