[etherlab-dev] Beckhoff AX5000 SoE drive: The PDI has no access rights to the ESC eeprom.

[Nuno Gonçalves]

I'm running etherlab master default branch and it is making the
Beckhoff AX5000 SoE drive unhappy.

When changing state to PREOP the drive complains with the following error:

External Periphery - Control card: Reading the ESC-eeprom failed: The
PDI has no access rights to the ESC eeprom.

This happens before any IDN and DC configuration are due (transition to SAFEOP).

Trusting the error message, what kind of ESC-eeprom reading are we
requesting on the transition to PREOP that can be causing this issue?

I can try to Wireshark this and TwinCAT initialization to compare
both, and see if I can spot the issue, but I don't think that will
work very easily...

Thanks,
Nuno
