EtherCAT Master Library (SOEM)

SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) is an open source EtherCAT master stack which is very easy to use and provides a small footprint. It is a good alternative to more complex stacks on the market and is especially well suited for embedded systems.

SOEM EtherCAT Master Library, written in C, is used to write custom EtherCAT Master applications. Can run on a large number of platforms, the main requirement is that the platform can send and receive RAW Ethernet Layer 2 frames.
