Am3359 ESI Xml

Bindu Ganesh
Expert 2220 points

When we gone through the " AM335x SYSBIOS Industrial SDK 01.00.00.04 " User Guide for Generating " ESI Header file From ESI xml ", now we land up with doubts,

1) What is the role of this EEPROM
2)Can we change the XML file and what information does this XML file contains

Regards,

Bindu

    The ESI information is an integral feature of an EtherCAT slave. I suggest you read the information on www.ethercat.org.

    It basically describes the features and data configuration of the slave to be used by the master. Alternatively the master can use the same info from the device XML file. This also allows the master to 'program' the ESI info into a new device where the EEPROM (or whereever the ESI is stored) is still empty.

    In all cases customers will have to change the ESI as it also contains vendor info and such... We only provide examples of device configs but they are not intended for any real use case. We can only provide the tools to develop an EtherCAT slave in our IA-SDK. But you still need to do all the real work yourself...

    Regards.
