TMDSCNCD28P65X: Procedure to setup CC Studio for EtherCAT Slave project.

Part Number: TMDSCNCD28P65X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

What is a full and proper procedure to set up all the dependencies in Code Composer Studio project to compile EtherCAT Slave on MCU board?

The ones that exist are not for this particular board or not really a step by step tutorials.

In particular how to setup "f28p65x_cpu1_foe_download_solution" project, how to setup the EtherCAT Slave Stack Code?

Thanaks,

Sergey.

  • Sergey,

    Have you read through the documentation at [c2000ware]\libraries\communications\Ethercat\f28p65x\docs? There are step by step instructions for getting started with the echoback solution for this board. Many of the steps will be the same for the foe solution.

    [c2000ware]\libraries\communications\Ethercat\f2838x\docs has instructions for the foe solution, but for a different board. Even so, most of the instructions are the same.

    I think you should be able to combine the information from these documents to get the "f28p65x_cpu1_foe_download_solution" project working.

  • Ben, thanks for your reply.

    I had to be more specific in my post. Most of the examples and steps are for Windows based development. We are running Code Composer studio on Red Hat 8 Linux machine.

    Is there an equivalent of "ethercat_slave_ssc_and_demo_setup.exe" to run on Linux or some tutorial steps to recreate it via some manual steps etc.?

    Also TwinCAT3 from the Beckhoff is Windows specific, is there a Linux equivalent if this package?

    Thanks,

    Sergey.

  • Sergey,

    I don't know if there is a TwinCAT equivalent for Linux, that may be better answered by Beckhoff.

    I have heard of customers using Acontis for software for EtherCAT master across various platforms, but I do not think their solutions are similar to TwinCAT.
