GETTING STARTED WITH EtherCAT©️ USING EC-MASTER ON STM32MP135F-DK BY STMicroelectronics |
Acontis EC-Master Software supports the ARM Cortex-A7 chip as used on the STM32MP135F-DK Board from STMicroelectronics. The implementation is running in the Open STLinux distribution provided by ST, and support is available for both the included Linux Network Driver and the acontis optimized Real-time Driver. The standard Linux Network Driver is a reliable, fully-featured Ethernet driver available for most Linux distributions that allows for the easy installation of the EC-Master without any need for any adaptation to the Linux distribution and kernel. This makes EC-Master possible to run "out of the box." The acontis Real-time Driver is also an option for EC-Master and can significantly improve performance and latency, however its installation requires a special build of the Linux kernel that includes the acontis open source kernel module atemsys. This architecture provides a faster execution of the frames through the Ethernet controller into the main EC-Master stack, as well as a lower latency and more deterministic jitter in overall network communications. The acontis Real-time Driver is a reliable, robust solution ideal for applications requiring high-performance real-time communication. |
