The change to OP seems wrong, but otherwise the procedure below looks about right.
One thing to note is that the foe_write command takes two filenames the other youve left unspecified (and so will default to the .efw filename) is the internal name sent to the device. Youll have to check with the vendor whether they require a particular name or whether theyll accept any name. (If theres upgrade instructions in the docs, it probably shows how the upgrade is done via TwinCAT you can see what filename is used there, or if it doesnt appear to be relevant.) A quick glance at the docs myself suggests that the device doesnt particularly care what filename is used. But to be sure, you will need to try it.

I'm using the latest 1.5.2 master. I take it that I need to use the "ethercat foe_write" command but I haven't been able to find what "output-file" name I should be using. Should it be the name of the .efw file (or not used so it automatically picks up the name of the .efw file)? Is this general procedure correct? : - ethercat states -p1 INIT - ethercat states -p1 BOOT à check current state is BOOT - ethercat foe_write -p1 /tmp/EL6021_FW06.efw - ethercat states -p1 INIT - ethercat states -p1 OP à repower the slave and check new firmware is active Thanks, Graeme Foot
