NAME
Convert::EDS::XDD - Convert CANopen EDS to POWERLINK XDD
SYNOPSIS
$ cpan Convert::EDS::XDD # install from CPAN
$ eds2xdd profile.eds > profile.xdd # Convert with the eds2xdd script
DESCRIPTION
EDS is an ini based format specified by the CiA e.V. in order to
describe CANopen devices. The Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group
specifies an EDS-based XML format for EPL devices.
This module takes in an EDS file or a string with its content and
returns a XDD string. An eds2xdd wrapper script is also installed into
the PATH.
eds2xdd is also available as a self-contained (fatpacked) script at the
Github releases page
<https://github.com/epl-viz/Convert-EDS-XDD/releases/latest>.
LIMITATIONS
May not handle all details of the EDS. Pull requests and reports
(issues on Github <https://github.com/epl-viz/Convert-EDS-XDD/issues>)
are welcome.
