Igh EtherCAT master porting for Linux OS on CyconeV SoC

Hi,

Does anyone could run well the Igh EtherCAT master for linux-RT of Cyclone V ?

I got the linux-socfpga.git for downloading Linux-3.10-ltsi-rt.

I already put the EtherCAT module and application on the Linux-RT Helio board for Cyclone V.

It could run well as communication cycle as 10 ms.

And the Ethernet port will block when I use 1ms transmit rate.

It seems that the delay of ethernet transmit/receive function is too long.

Has anyone also verify the situation or anyone could point out the delay issue?

    Hi, Were you able to successfully use the TSE IP core for Ethercat master? How is the performance?
