EtherNet/IP Golang Support
Greetings,
I'm trying to find a Golang implementation of the EIP protocol and found
the plc4x project, which has an amazing objective of unifying all protocols.
Currently, going over the project website, I saw that Golang doesn't
support EIP, but on Github though, I can see some files related to the EIP
protocol.
I wanted to know the current state of it and also I didn't get how am I
supposed to implement a protocol in some language. Is it all generated
through a code generator? Is there someplace I can find more information?
Best,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,
if you need a kick-start on contributing I’d be more than happy to give you that orientation in a Zoom meeting.

Hi Christofer,
Thanks for the reply! We are currently acquiring an EIP device (an inverter
if I'm not mistaken), so I'll be able to test it too.
I'll give that package a shot and let you know about the results. I'm more
than happy to contribute if changes are needed. I'm just uncertain of where
is the best place to understand how is the project structured.

Hi Rafael,
First of all, welcome to your awesome little project and I’m happy you like what we’re working on :-)
Well I think we haven’t updated the website for quite some time. But in general I think there’s a go version of the EIP driver, however I haven’t had the chance to test it, as I don’t have any EIP equipment yet.
I do know that I’ll be able to test things pretty soon, but right now I would simply like to ask you to give it a try, report what you find and possibly even help up with getting the driver off the ground. We’re a very friendly community and we have loads of people willing to help people willing to get their hands dirty and act as mentors.
Right now, we generate a lot of the annoying work when writing drivers. You don’t need to care about datatypes, parsing, serializing, testing. We also have a framework that allows you to generally forget about TCP, UDP, Serial, Raw-Sockets, … So, we reduced the amount of manual coding-labor to a minimum and we’ll continue reducing the amount needed in the future. But yes: there are still parts that you still need to code by hand.
