TwinCAT BSD #8

Open vanoo1983 opened 8 months ago

vanoo1983 commented 8 months ago

Hello and thank you for this great Library.

Is it planned to make the TFU003 also working on a TwinCAT BSD system? Or is it somehow already possible to run it on BSD?

Hi!

This would be basically possible and I'm also willing to port the project to BSD (leveraging the new cross-platform dotnet implementations), BUT the .net for BSD isn't fully ready yet. (see wiki.freebsd.org).

Once it is I can add .net6/7/8 to the target frameworks.

I know there are first binaries of .net8 that might already work under BSD, but I don't have the chance to test them on my own. If you already have the chance to test a .net8 application on your own twincat BSD machine, let me know and I can prepare a new testing version for you 👍 .

Best regards, FB

Sorry for my late reply.

I am not that familiar with .NET and also not so much with BSD. I have set up a TwinCAT BSD in a virtual machine (under VirtualBox) to simulate a PLC (according to https://cookncode.com/twincat/2022/08/11/twincat-bsd.html). I could also test in this virtual machine. But I would still have to find out how to install and run .NET8 on this machine.

Best regards, Silvano

Hi,

.NET runtime is available from the Beckhoff package repository: https://tcbsd.beckhoff.com/TCBSD/14/stable/packages/All/: image

I was even able to run a .NET Blazor project from TC/BSD.
