fp@479: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fp@479: fp@479: $Id$ fp@479: fp@479: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fp@479: fp@573: Changes in version 1.3.0: fp@573: fp@669: * Added Intel PRO/1000 gigabit ethernet driver (e1000). fp@638: * Added testing version of Intel PRO/100 ethernet driver (e100). fp@638: * Added testing version of NVIDIA nForce ethernet driver (forcedeth). fp@661: * Removed "ec_eoeif_count" master module parameter. EoE handlers are created fp@661: dynamically instead. fp@639: * Added "main" and "backup" parameters to master module to hand over the fp@639: MAC addresses of the devices to wait for. This made the ec_device_index fp@700: parameter of the ethernet drivers obsolete. The broadcast MAC address means, fp@700: that the master accepts the first device offered by any ethernet driver. fp@573: * Changed format of sysconfig file and accordingly adjusted functionality fp@661: of the init script to handle the above MAC address lists. fp@612: * Realtime interface changes: fp@637: - ecrt_master_run() became obsolete, because the master state machine is now fp@637: run in process context. fp@640: - Parameter changes in PDO registration functions ecrt_domain_register_pdo() fp@640: and ecrt_register_pdo_range(): Replaced slave_address, vendor ID and fp@661: product code arguments with a slave pointer, which has to be obtained with fp@640: a prior call to ecrt_master_get_slave(). fp@640: - ecrt_master_get_slave() got additional parameters to check for vendor ID fp@640: and product code. fp@643: - Removed addressing scheme "X:Y" for ecrt_master_get_slave(). fp@697: - Added ecrt_master_get_slave_by_pos() to avoid the string handling of fp@697: ecrt_master_get_slave(). fp@661: - Added ecrt_master_get_status() to get status information about the bus. fp@661: - Added functions to set up an alternative PDO mapping for a slave, i. e. fp@635: ec_slave_pdo_mapping_clear(), ec_slave_pdo_mapping_add() and fp@635: ec_slave_pdo_mapping(). fp@573: * Device interface changes: fp@573: - Replaced ecdev_register() and ecdev_unregister() with ecdev_offer() and fp@573: ecdev_withdraw(), respectively. The device modules now offer all their fp@661: devices to the master. The master then decides, which ones to register. fp@670: - Replaced ecdev_link_state() with ecdev_set_link(); added ecdev_get_link(). fp@601: * All EEPROM write operations from user space are now blocking until fp@661: writing has finished. Appropriate error codes are returned. fp@661: * Implemented setting of the "Secondary slave address" (alias) via sysfs. fp@646: * Implemented SDO reading in operation mode via sysfs. fp@598: * Removed annoying eeprom_write_enable file. EEPROM writing always enabled. fp@656: * Slave configuration is now done exclusively from the master thread. Removed fp@656: ec_master_sync_io(). Userspace threads are now waiting for events in the fp@656: state machine. fp@650: * Master state machine scheduled with timeout if idle, otherwise is executed fp@650: as fast as possible (with schedule()). fp@665: * Added dummy module for simulation purpuses. fp@696: * Limited infinite EEPROM reading, if 0xffff limiter word is missing. fp@698: * Init script works now properly on non-SUSE distros (no rc.status dependency fp@698: any more). fp@573: * Removed EtherCAT line comments from 8139too drivers. fp@573: fp@573: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fp@573: fp@495: Changes in version 1.2.0: fp@495: fp@564: * Serveral fixes of bugs and stability issues. Master should now run fine fp@564: with kernels 2.6.17 to 2.6.19. fp@533: * Realtime interface changes: fp@508: - Re-introduced ecrt_domain_queue() to allow datagram queuing apart fp@508: from datagram processing. The queuing of a domain's datagrams is not fp@508: done in ecrt_domain_process() any more! fp@508: - Removed ecrt_master_deactivate(). Its functionality was moved into fp@508: ecrt_master_release(). fp@508: - Removed ecrt_master_prepare(). Its functionality was moved into fp@508: ecrt_master_activate(). fp@508: - Renamed ecdev_start() and ecdev_stop() to ecdev_open() and ecdev_close(). fp@508: These two functions now take a pointer to ec_device_t as their arguments. fp@508: - The data_ptr parameter of ecrt_domain_register_pdo(), fp@508: ecrt_domain_register_pdo_list() and ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range() may fp@508: not be NULL any more. fp@508: - Removed ecrt_slave_pdo_size(). This function was deprecated long before. fp@541: - Introduced ECRT_VERSION_MAGIC macro and ecrt_version_magic() function. fp@533: * Device interface changes: fp@533: - ec_isr_t was replaced by ec_pollfunc_t, the device driver has to supply fp@533: a poll function to call its ISR. This was introduced because some network fp@533: drivers' interrupt functions have different arguments. fp@508: * State machines now try to re-send datagrams on datagram timeout. fp@508: * New option -c of the lsec script, displays slave current consumptions and fp@508: remaining current. fp@508: * Added frame counter in master info file. fp@495: fp@495: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fp@495: fp@495: Changes in version 1.1.1: fp@495: fp@479: * State change FSM: Clearing of sync managers before PREOP. fp@479: * Added modules_install make target. fp@479: * Device modules for kernel 2.6.17. fp@479: * SDO configurations available in Sysfs. fp@479: * FMMU configurations cleared when going to INIT. fp@479: * Slave-specific logs only at debug level 1 (for large busses). fp@479: * Slave flags (error, online) available in Sysfs. fp@479: * Acknowledging of spontaneous state changes in master FSMs. fp@479: * ecrt_master_deactivate() deprecated. fp@479: * Persistent slave lists. Slave structures are only regenerated on topology fp@479: change in IDLE mode. fp@479: * SDO reading via Sysfs. fp@479: * Added ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range() fp@479: * Fetching of SDO dictionary. fp@479: * Better timing behaviour when starting up under high CPU load. fp@479: * Applied Autotools. fp@479: * Improved output of lsec. fp@479: * SDO download state machine. fp@479: fp@479: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fp@479: fp@479: Changes in version 1.1: fp@479: fp@479: * Improved realtime interface. fp@479: fp@479: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
