Hi Armin,
I can agree with your point of not becoming a custom container programmer for everyone. For me right now, I am just getting started with the learning of how to work with these systems, so I have a lot of learning to do before I am able to make my own image. My real issue is that the NetPi and NetIOT devices lack UL certification on them. From my discussions with our Hilscher representative, there are no plans to provide the certification. This means that we cannot move forward with this device for the US market which is too bad, because I really like the platform other than a few short comings like the Modbus/TCP problem. But I think that can be fixed with the right custom container. Therefore, I was hoping to have you build the image for me to prove that it can be done and if so, push more for the UL certification. Again, I see your point with the development. So I'll ask a final question though, why not just add the Modbus/TCP firmware stack as an option as the NetX51 chip supports the stack already? Is that possible rather than using the open ethernet firmware instead?
