Simple_SOES_Slave - EtherCAT

Requirements

1. GNU ARM Embedded tool-chain: link
2. J-Link: link

Build Project

1. The first thing is to tell the build system which arm-gcc you want to use. To do that makefile expects the environment variable ARM_GCC_BIN_FOLDER to be set.

export ARM_GCC_BIN_FOLDER="$PATH_TO_ARM_GCC_TOOLCHAIN/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin"

Note that you can add the previous export to your ~/.bashrc so that you don't have to repeat the export each time you open a new terminal.

2. Clone Simple Slave Project

$ git clone [email protected]:trns1997/simpleSlave.git
$ cd $PATH_TO_SIMPLE_SLAVE_PROJECT

3. Build Binaries

$ ./build.sh -h
Usage: ./build.sh mcu product board
OR
Usage: ./build.sh unit
Supported mcus:
  - XMC4800_F144x2048
Supported products:
  - ankle
  - blinker
  - fallsafe
Supported boards:
  - ankle
  - relax

Example if you wish to build product blinker on the board xmc4800 relax kit which has mcu XMC4800_F144x2048:

./build.sh XMC4800_F144x2048 blinker relax

Deploy Binaries

$ ./deploy.sh -h
Usage: ./deploy.sh target product board
Supported targets:
  - XMC4800-2048
Supported products:
  - ankle
  - blinker
  - fallsafe
Supported boards:
  - ankle
  - relax

Example if you wish to deploy product blinker on the board xmc4800 relax kit which has target XMC4800-2048:

./deploy.sh XMC4800-2048 blinker relax
