[etherlab-users] ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry() returns "No such file or directory"

[Gary Grobe]

Let me ask this ... master/slave_config.c has the following function.

     void ec_slave_config_load_default_mapping(
             const ec_slave_config_t *sc,
             ec_pdo_t *pdo
             )
     {

And just a few lines down there's this comment.

         // find PDO in any sync manager (it could be reassigned later)
         for (i = 0; i < sc->slave->sii_image->sii.sync_count; i++) {
             sync = &sc->slave->sii_image->sii.syncs[i];

Can anyone comment as to why/how a PDO could possibly be reassigned at a 
later time?

I ask because with only one device online (master debug output below), 
notice that the 2nd subindex (after a proper "Entry") has changed and 
therefore not being found. I'd expect to see 0x60FE instead of 0x562A 
and 0x01 as the subindex.

Although of course some slaves have restrictions on which PDOs you can select together, and others do not let you change the default PDO set -- but you can still explicitly specify it via ecrt_slave_config_pdos() so that you can create a configuration without needing the slaves to be online.
