PRU, Ethercat Slave on Beaglboard?

I’m not sure if this coudl even be possible, or if anyones thought about it…

Could Ethercat be some how run on the beagleboard?

Can’t be done. The signals are not available on the expansion header for that function.

I went through the schematics last night, worked out which pins i needed, and its only 4 pins short!

Sigh… it was worth a shot.

I guess that i’ll be building a bit of custom hardware sometime now…

Or there is a board out there with it already loaded and ready to go.
