[etherlab-users] Linux device driver for Beckhoff CX2100-0004 powermodule

[Graeme Foot]

Hi,

 

In case anyone is interested I have attached a patch for a device driver
for the Beckhoff CX2100-0004 power module.

 

It implements a network device driver for the CX2100's EtherCAT DMA
interface.  Note: I have only implemented the ability to link into the
EtherCAT master, I have not implemented the generic NIC interface (as
this is an unlikely use case and I don't need it).  I have not
implemented anything for the LCD screen or Nav buttons as the
documentation for these is still being prepared by Beckhoff.

 

The patch is for revision 1.5-2266 (which is a bit old now), but it only
contains new files and minimal changes to the make / config files so
will probably work against most releases.  The driver is also only
released for Linux 2.6.32.  If you need a different Linux version, just
copy the source file and rename it to the version you need and hopefully
all of the networking API calls will be supported.

 

 

Regards,

Graeme.

powermodule

 

Hi,

 

We've just got ourselves a Beckhoff CX2020 computer with a CX2100-0004
power module to play with.  The power module requires a PCI device
driver to access the network port (and LCD screen and nav buttons).

 

Has anyone had a go at a device driver for one of these modules yet?

 

 

Regards,

Graeme.
