    Hey,

    which side do you want to add master or slave? This somehow influences how you would do it in FORTE. We don't have a real how-to but for the master side you could have a look on the powerlink implementation. I think this shows quite well how such an integration could look like.

    Hi I just saw that the ethertLAB stack is also GPL. Please be aware that 4DIAC is using EPL and that EPL is not compatible with GPL (see https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#GPLCOMPATIBLE for details). Using both together can lead to very bad situations which you may not like to have.
