[etherlab-users] Open source virtual Linux Ethercat Slave

[babbittner at aol.com]

 I'm attempting to run multiple virtual slaves on one host.  I setup a TUN/TAP interface via tunctl named tap0.  Then I issued the commands:
./ecslave tap0 &
./ecslave eth0 tap0 &
but I get a message the tap0 interface is LINK DOWN.
Possibly I'm misusing the TUN/TAP virtual interfaces?

Alternatively I'd like to use something like named pipes, but I believe that would involve modifying the code.  If I were to modify the code

  I think I'd add an option to specify the number of slaves to virtualize and make an array of slaves internally.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Bruno

Hello etherlab users 

I wrote an open source linux virtual ethercat slave.

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ecslave/code ecslave

Ecslave is "tailored" to etherlab and it provides a virtual       
and cheap solution to set up and debug etherlab master application.

At the moment ec_slave is user space application, but i am going to add a 
version to kernel mode in the near future.

wiki :
https://sourceforge.net/p/ecslave/wiki/Howto/

I will be happy for debug and input.
