EtherCAT on STM32

I wanna implement Master and Slave ethercat protocol on stm32h7 series. Is there any examples available on subject?. Where should i start. Any resources?

Hello @Legacy member ,

unfortunately the STM32H7 series is not supported in the port of EtherCAT protocol stack/lib supported by ST as shown in this screenshot below 

more details on this in our website.

Hi @Legacy member,

I am doing an EtherCAT project with STM32F303 connected to the Microchip LAN9252 via SPI with the F303/LAN52 as a ECat slave.

The plan is to start with the Microchip EVB-LAN9252_SAM D51 dev board for stack bring up, communication from the master and port what is learned to the F303.

Thought I would bump this thread to share ideas and pitfalls.

How is your project going?

Hi Jlag

I am starting a new project using LAN9252 as well. I will comunicate by SPI with a STM32F4. If you share your project it will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

if you did not find a solution for the EtherCAT master meanwhile, you could have a look on the following web pages:

https://www.ibv-augsburg.de/en/products/icnet/ethercat-master/

https://www.st.com/en/partner-products-and-services/icecat-ethercat-master-stack.html 

IBV provides an EtherCAT master software which is especially designed for microcontrollers like the STM32H7.

Best regards,

Walter

Could anyone tell me what drivers are required to implement an EtherCAT project by interfacing an STM32 microcontroller with the EVB-LAN9252-SPI board?

Specifically, I would like to know which software, Software drivers, middleware, and libraries are needed to establish EtherCAT communication between the STM32 and the LAN9252 EtherCAT Slave Controller. If available, could you please share the documents here?

First, you’re going to need an EtherCAT protocol stack - see links given earlier in this thread.

Once you have that, it will describe what it needs from its drivers.

 

The ‘Port’ link given by ​@STea now seems to be dead - try this instead:
