------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EtherCAT master TODO $Id$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Release 1.3: - Dynamic creation of EoE handlers. * Future features: - Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO. - Distributed clocks. - Read dynamic PDO mapping from SDO dictionary (see can-cia.org: cia301ds4). - Redundancy with 2 network adapters. * Smaller issues: - Clear sync managers in INIT. - Simplify FSMs with _enter() functions. - Output intermediate results during lsec. - State change FSM: Follow spontaneous state changes. - Read out CRC counters. - Calculate expected working counter for domains. - Optimize alignment of process data. - Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing. - SDO dictionary fetching in operation mode. - SDO write access in sysfs. - Speed up IDLE state machine through fast mode with schedule(). - Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection. - Calculate cycle time of operation state machine. * Less important issues: - Implement all EtherCAT datagram types. - File access over EtherCAT (FoE). - Allow VLAN tagging. - Determine number of frames the NIC can handle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
