Description
Our current hardware that is supposed to run the PXI software is unable to handle the current PXI OS nor is the hardware completely capable of virtualizing them. We need a different form factor for the ethercat cards as we don't have any servers, that are usuable, that take PCI and instead need PCIe.
Contacted advantech regarding feasiblity of using their PCIe card, have yet to hear back from their team about it. We need a card that uses a chipset supported by the etherlab ethercat linux driver. Will need to continue this effort in a part 2.
