EtherCAT -- SPI interface first power-up. Based on ET1100 + KS8721 + HX0068ANL

This interface will enable an embedded system to communicate on a EtherCAT bus system. This video shows fist power up of a prototype on a rather hacky method. The Lan cable is directly soldered to the transformer (instead of the fancy connectors) and the power directly to the SMPS input (instead of the flatcable). But hey it works and that is all I needed to know :).

Hi, I also hope to send the data in my MCU to EtherCAT through ET1100. And the SPI port will be used, which is exactly what you have done. Could you tell me how to send data from my MCU to ET1100 through SPI? I don't know where could I find useful documents I need. Thank you.

Hi, my apologies for the late reply. Take a look at the SOES openethercatsociety.github.io/ . By far the easiest way to implement EtherCAT with the ET1100. SOES is written for ET1100. In my application, see other video I write firmware for the LAN9252: github.com/DieBieEngineering/DieBieMS-Firmware .
