Description

Create a simple nuttx ethercat app using kickcats slave stack.

  • Build xmc4800 board using CMake (https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/11679)
  • Create simple app inspired from @Rdk-T amazing work
  • I was thinking of building the kickcat lib using conan (so once we're happy with the slave stack then we should consider tagging a new version and updating the recipe)
  • If all goes well "maybe" build the board and app using Makefile

Research direction

Review the existing XMC4800 CMake build in apache/nuttx PR 11679 and the simple application referenced in the issue. Then determine how KickCAT should be brought into a NuttX EtherCAT app, whether a Conan recipe update is needed, and whether Makefile support is in scope; done means the app and its board build work as agreed.
