Thanks. ;-) > I want to ask if there is a more recent development version available > than the latest from february, which I can use for 2.6.29 kernels (or > port myself to 2.6.29)? I just uploaded a new version (revision 1680) to the server. > Are there any experiences with ARM SoC's and this EtherCAT master? I know of some people using it on ARM platforms successfully. The master should run fine on any platform Linux supports. The question is, if the Ethernet chip is supported... ;-) -- Best regards, Florian Pose http://etherlab.org _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
