How to Port the PROFINET Community Stack to STM32?

Srave.1 · ‎2025-04-30

Hello,

I’m exploring how to convert the PROFINET Community Stack into a working implementation on STM32.

Specifically, without relying on commercial stacks like RT-Labs.

Has anyone successfully ported the community stack to an STM32 platform? Any insights, examples, or guidance on integrating the stack with STM32 would be very helpful.

You mean this: https://www.profibus.com/download/profinet-community-stack ?

So this would be the place to ask: https://forum.profinet.com/viewforum.php?f=18

Do they provide a Porting Guide?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Yes. I am referring to the exact same stack.

"Do they provide a Porting Guide?"

No. I couldn't find one.

I would certainly ask for that on their forum, then.
