Altera INK w/ Softing EtherCAT ip core

1,420 Views

Hi!

Has anybody here used Softing's EtherCAT ip core running on Altera's Industrial Networking Kit w/Cyclone IV board (I mean this one: http://industrial.softing.com/uploads/softing_downloads/IE011E2_201307_AccessIP_EtherCAT_01.pdf )?

I'm facing two problems with this solution:

* There is no settings.bsp file within project bsp directory. Obviously, it causes errors when building the demo application. I overcome this solution by creating a blank .bsp file and then generating a new one by BSP Editor in Eclipse, but I doubt whether it is the best solution.

* When adding a new component to the application core and changing code of the demo application, communication with TwinCAT EtherCAT master delivered with the core fails.

Has anybody encountered these problems?

Best regards

Eketh
