I am using etherlab ethercat 1.5.2. Which etherlab patchset version supports FoE ? I also prefer using Twincat but my specification requires firmware update with Etherlab Ethercat.
Thank you very much Gavin for your answer.

Out of the box, FoE does not work – you need to use the unofficial patchset version. Having said that, where possible I’d still recommend using TwinCAT to update the firmware of Beckhoff slaves.

I set the ethercat slave to the right state (BOOT state) and then I run the command “ethercat foe_write”. Unfortunately I get an error message (“Failed to write via FoE: FOE_TIMEOUT_ERROR”) and I don’t know whether the firmware has been updated or not. This is what I do: $ ethercat -p0 state INIT $ ethercat -p0 state BOOT $ ethercat foe_write -p0 -o ECATFW__ the_new_firmware.hex Failed to write via FoE: FOE_TIMEOUT_ERROR Notice: the file named “the_new_firmware.hex“ really exists. If I enter the name of a non-existing file then I get a different error message. Did someone get the same issue. Thank you for your help. Best, Pierre
