EDS/DCF-to-C conversion tool

less than 1 minute read

The CANopen EDS/DCF to C conversion tool reads an EDS or DCF file and generates a co_sdev C struct containing a static device description. This is typically used on embedded platforms which lack the resources to parse an EDS/DCF file at runtime.

Synopsis

dcf2c -h
dcf2c --help
dcf2c [--no-strings] [-o <file> | --output=<file>] [filename]
      [variable_name]

Options

`-h`, `--help`	Display help.
`--no-strings`	Do not include optional strings in the output.
`-o <file>`, `--output=<file>`	Write the output to `<file>` instead of stdout.

The --no-strings option prevents the names of objects and sub-objects from appearing in the generated struct.
