# Running EcMasterDemo The EcMasterDemo is available “out of the box” for different operating systems. It is an EC-Master example application that handles the following tasks: - Showing basic EtherCAT® communication - MainDevice stack initialization into OPERATIONAL state - Process Data operations for e.g. Beckhoff EL2004, EL1004 and EL4132 - Periodic diagnosis task - Periodic Job Task in polling mode - Logging Start the EcMasterDemo from the command line to put the EtherCAT® network into operation. At least a Real-time Ethernet Driver must be specified. ```doscon > EcMasterDemo -ndis 192.168.157.2 1 -f eni.xml -t 0 -v 3 ``` #### SEE ALSO - [Example application](software-integration_example-application.html.md#example-application) for detailed explanation ## Command line parameters ### EcMasterDemo [-f ENI-FileName] [-t time] [-b cycle time] [-a affinity] [-v level] [-perf [level]] [-log prefix [msg cnt]] [-lic key] [-oem key] [-fingerprint method] [-maxbusslaves cnt] [-flash address] [-sp [port]] [-rec [prefix [frame cnt]]] [-junctionred] The parameters are as follows: ### -f Path to ENI file ### -t Running duration [ms]. When the time expires the demo application exits completely. * **:** Time [ms], 0 = forever (default = 120000) ### -b Specifies the bus cycle time. Defaults to 1000 µs (1 ms). * **:** Bus cycle time in µsec ### -a The CPU affinity specifies which CPU the demo application ought to use. * **:** 0 = first CPU, 1 = second, … ### -v The verbosity level specifies how much console output messages will be generated by the demo application. A high verbosity level leads to more messages. * **:** Verbosity level: 0=off (default), 1..n=more messages ### -perf [] Enable max. and average time measurement in µs for all EtherCAT® jobs (e.g. ProcessAllRxFrames). * **:** Depending on level the performance histogram can be activated as well. ### -log [] Use given file name prefix for log files. * **:** * **:** Messages count for log buffer allocation ### -lic Set License key. * **:** License key string ### -oem Use OEM key * **:** 64 bit OEM key. ### -fingerprint Read license fingerprint * **:** Fingerprint method ### -junctionred Enable junction redundancy (automatic mode) ### -flash

:** 0=all, >0 = SubDevice station address ### -sp [] If platform has support for IP Sockets, this command-line option enables the Remote API Server to be started. The Remote API Server is going to listen on TCP Port 6000 (or port parameter if given) and is available for connecting Remote API Clients. * **:** RAS server port ### -rec [ []] Packet capture file recording * **:** File name prefix * **:** Frame count for log buffer allocation ### Link Layer Using one of the following demo application Link Layer options, the EC-Master will dynamically load the network driver for the specified network adapter card and use the appropriate network driver to access the Ethernet adapter for EtherCAT®. `ShowSyntaxLinkLayer()` in [`Common/EcSelectLinkLayer.cpp`](_downloads/bf62c71a4a7e317930818b9da4a9815c/EcSelectLinkLayer.cpp) is called automatically if the Demo application is started without parameters and lists the possibilities. #### NOTE Not all link layers are available on all operating systems or architectures. A detailed view in the form of a matrix can be found in the [developer center](https://developer.acontis.com/). ### -alteratse * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode | 1 = Polling mode ### -antaios Device instance fixed to 2 Mode fixed to 1 = Polling mode ### -bcmgenet Hardware: Broadcom BcmGenet : * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode | 1 = Polling mode ### -bcmnetxtreme Hardware: Broadcom NetXtreme : * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode | 1 = Polling mode ### -bpf [] Hardware: Berkeley Packet Filter, Hardware independent : * **:** BPF instance (0=first), results to e.g. /dev/bpf0 * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode | 1 = Polling mode * **:** Name of Ethernet Interface, e.g. wm0 Optional: : * **:** Prefix of the BPF instance path, e.g. /alt ### -ccat Hardware: Beckhoff CCAT : * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode | 1 = Polling mode ### -cpsw Hardware: TI CPSW : * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode, 1 = Polling mode * **:** Low priority (0) or high priority (1) * **:** (m) Master (Initialize Switch), (s) Slave * **:** bone | am3359-icev2 | am437x-idk | am572x-idk | 387X_evm | custom | osdriver If custom: : * **:** am33XX | am437X | am57X | am387X * **:** 0 … 31 * **:** rmii | gmii | rgmii | osdriver * **:** 0 = FALSE | 1 = TRUE ### -dpdk Hardware: Hardware independent, only available for Linux. : * **:** Device instance 1 = first, 2 = second, … * **:** 0 = Interrupt mode (not implemented), 1 = Polling mode * **:** DPDK port ID, e.g. 0 This option supports a large variety of NICs.
