Yocto Linux for Rpi3 + netHAT

[jenrei]

Hello Armin,

thanks for the fast answer!

Using Docker has no need for YOCTO linux as used on netPI. Docker can be installed on native Linux as described here https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/docker-...pberry-pi/

I was aware of that but just didn't want to miss out, if easily possible, on netX specific optimizations and/or realtime patches. But for testing purposes it should be no further issue.

This question you have to explain closer to me. You have Codesys that you can run on any Raspberry Pi, this is ok for me, but how is it about POWERLINK. Do you want Codesys to run POWERLINK stack or netPI/netHAT POWERLINK the stack? Is is POWERLINK slave or master you are talking about

I'm running this https://store.codesys.com/powerlink-conf...ditor.html on my raspberry to connect to B&R. It configures the raspberry as managing node (master). So I'm in need of a second ethernet port and netHAT seems a good way to provide that.
As you described

For example on netPI the netX network controller can be standard ethernet ... for netHAT we never compiled this firmware.

this is/will be and issue.

thanks
Reinhard
