Hello,
I'm looking for comments about installing EtherCAT on a proprietary board that has its own, non-x86, processor on it. Linux is currently installed and running on this board. Here is what I am trying to work out: 1) Currently there is no compiler on the board. There is a program on another machine here that does the building of executable code for Linux and this processor. So I build code on that machine, then I transfer it to the board via a secure copy program. 2) I don't think I can build EtherCAT this way. The build machine is Windows to begin with, and even if I managed to compile everything, the default scripts wouldn't work - they'd want to install on the machine they are running on, the paths wouldn't be correct, etc. 3) EtherCAT has been installed on a different Linux x86 machine here and a sample program appears to be running fine. So is it possible I can just compile a bunch of source modules separately and then transfer them to the Linux board and run them? Basically, can I just build each compiled component on its own and then put it in the proper place on the Linux board? Or will I have to modify install scripts and such? Thanks for any feedback, Jeff
