[etherlab-dev] EtherCAT bridge

[Henry Bausley]

Here is a setup I tested on the primary side.  I was able to see this
reflected on the secondary.

/* Master 0, Slave 4, "EL6692"
 * Vendor ID:       0x00000002
 * Product code:    0x1a243052
 * Revision number: 0x00100000
 */

ec_pdo_entry_info_t slave_4_pdo_entries[] = {
    {0x7000, 0x00, 32},
    {0x7000, 0x01, 32},
    {0x6000, 0x00, 32},
    {0x6000, 0x01, 32},
};

ec_pdo_info_t slave_4_pdos[] = {
    {0x1600, 2, slave_4_pdo_entries + 0}, /* RxPDO-Map */
    {0x1a00, 2, slave_4_pdo_entries + 2}, /* TxPDO-Map */
};

ec_sync_info_t slave_4_syncs[] = {
    {0, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {1, EC_DIR_INPUT, 0, NULL, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {2, EC_DIR_OUTPUT, 1, slave_4_pdos + 0, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {3, EC_DIR_INPUT, 1, slave_4_pdos + 1, EC_WD_DISABLE},
    {0xff}
};
