    Description

      I'm currently starting to work on EtherCAT [1] [2] slave implementation and therefore the requirement to have a EtherCAT master to control and test this slave arises.

      E.g. http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/index.php provides a Linux Kernel module to implement an EtherCAT master.

      There is also https://github.com/OpenEtherCATsociety which supports Linux and Windows and even has support for EtherCAT slaves.

      It should be investigated, if this makes a good addition to QtSerialBus.
