Experimental XML config generator was created by scottlaird
As of linuxcnc-ethercat v1.20.3, there's a new tool included in the .debs that may be helpful for some people: lcec_configgen.  It tries to auto-generate an XML config based on data from `ethercat slaves`, `ethercat sdos`, `ethercat pdos`, and an `ethercat upload` or two.

Here's what it knows how to do today:
  1. Recognize all EtherCAT devices with compiled drivers and create `<slave ... type="EL1008".../>` configs for them.
  2. Recognize CiA 402 devices and create a `<slave ... type="basic_cia402" .../>` config for them including modParams that describe the device's capabilities and which optional CiA 402 SDOs are present on the device.
    • Generate not-quite-right generic configs for all remaining unidentified devices.

      It *certainly* isn't ready to turn loose on new users.  Among other issues, it doesn't handle gap entries in generic device PDOs correctly today, and it makes no attempt to generate unique pin names.  On the other hand, sometimes it comes kind of close:

If you're up to upgrading to 1.20.3 (or compiling it yourself), then I'd love to get a bit of feedback.  It should be safe to run -- it just prints the config to stdout and won't overwrite anything.

My big motivator for this is to make "basic_cia402" work better.  Here's what a Leadshine 2CS3E-D507 looks like:

That's enough to get "basic_cia402" to start up, talk to both axes, go into OP mode, and then.. fail to actually move.  So I'm not done yet :-).

At some point, I'd like to get this *reading* XML configs as well, so it can modify them in place, leaving device names the same and only adding new devices, but the code's not there yet, and I have a growing pile of CiA 402 hardware to make it through first.

I fixed a couple of the `generic` bugs and pushed v1.20.4. This now produces semi-reasonable generic configs for the 3 devices that I have handy without drivers.

Here's an EP9214, for example. That's a 4-port power distribution box that can distribute 16A of 24V power to 4 different chains of Beckhoff EP* devices. It includes some status monitoring, so you can see when you've overloaded each of the 4 outputs, plus you can toggle each output off individually. Basically, it's a slightly smart power strip. I haven't bothered to write a driver yet, because it's a power strip :-).

I'm not entirely convinced that I don't have `in` and `out` backwards there, but it's close enough for LinuxCNC to function:

Okay, one last example, with v1.20.5. I pulled an EP4374-0002 (2 port analog in, 2 port analog out) and an EP3744-0041 (5 port pressure, 6x digital in, 2x digital out) out of my "to do" pile. Here they are with 0 editing:
