<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Adds the ability to override the slave's SII data with a file (useful if the slave's SII EEPROM is too small to hold the correct data).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">At configure time, you can use --enable-sii-override to activate it, using the standard udev/hotplug lookup process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It will cooperate as expected with features/sii-cache, although note that it’s not as efficient as it could be (it will reload some of the values that features/sii-cache already read when checking
the SII cache; but trying to improve this would make the code really awkward).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on an etherlab project which requires a slave that does not support rewriting of the sii information and the slave is missing default PDO/sync information. I have come across an old
<a href="https://etherlab-users.etherlab.narkive.com/wSM75pfA/problem-reading-sii-configuration-from-slave">
etherlab-users thread</a> in which you discuss a patch of the etherlab master with support of optional slave configuration via local ESI files. Do you still happen to have access to this source code? If so, would you be so kind as to let me know where I can
find it so I do not have to reinvent the wheel?<o:p></o:p></p>
